Everything we do in Eagle Rock, with what each job usually involves here. The photos are from our own jobs.
Panel and service upgrades for Eagle Rock houses from the 1910s through the 1940s, with the meter location coordinated with LADWP and, near the Glendale or Pasadena line, the utility confirmed first. Older panels of the kind discussed in Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are a common reason owners call.
Level 2 EV charger circuits for detached garages down long driveways, carports on sloping lots and, with the owner's or HOA's agreement, shared parking at small apartment buildings. EV charger permits in Los Angeles explains the City of LA side.
Tracing tripping breakers, warm outlets and flickering lights in older Eagle Rock houses, where circuits may have been extended one room at a time over the decades.

Partial and whole-house rewiring for Craftsman, Tudor and Spanish revival homes, planned room by room so that plaster, tile and built-in cabinets are opened only where there is no other path.
Interior and exterior lighting for period homes and hillside yards, and storefront lighting on Colorado Boulevard that is checked against the Colorado Boulevard Specific Plan's lighting rules before fixtures are bought.
Replacing leftover two-prong receptacles with properly grounded ones, adding GFCI protection where kitchens, baths, laundry areas and yards need it, and running dedicated circuits for appliances that older Eagle Rock kitchens were never wired for.
Tenant improvements, equipment circuits and lighting for restaurants, coffee shops and shops along Colorado and Eagle Rock boulevards, and house-panel and meter-bank work for apartment owners.
Also: subpanels, dedicated circuits, 240-volt outlets for dryers and ranges, exterior and security lighting, hard-wired smoke alarms, and small repairs of every kind.

The neighbourhood covers about 4.25 square miles, with the Glendale Freeway along its western side, the Ventura Freeway along its northern side and Figueroa Street on its eastern boundary. Colorado Boulevard and Eagle Rock Boulevard are the two main streets. The main ZIP code is 90041, though parts of the neighbourhood also use 90042 and 90065.
Eagle Rock was its own small city before it was part of Los Angeles. It incorporated in 1911 and voted to join Los Angeles in 1923; the Water and Power Associates history says its wells were running low and residents wanted a dependable water supply and a high school. That vote is the reason an Eagle Rock house today has LADWP power and an LADBS permit, even though Glendale and Pasadena, a few blocks away in either direction, never joined and still run their own permit counters and electric utilities.
Streetcars reached Eagle Rock in 1906, Occidental College's campus opened in 1914, and the Eagle Rock Valley Historical Society describes building booming between the two world wars, with Spanish Colonial Revival houses and bungalows influenced by Colonial Revival and Tudor styles. In Eagle Rock, Infinity Electrical takes calls for tripping breakers and dead outlets, panel upgrades, partial or full rewiring, light fixtures and ceiling fans, added circuits and EV chargers, for houses, duplexes, small apartment buildings, shops and restaurants.

City Planning's 2020–2024 profile of the whole Northeast Los Angeles plan area, which also covers Highland Park, Glassell Park, Mount Washington, Atwater Village and other communities, counts about 85,300 housing units, roughly 40% of them built in 1939 or earlier and nearly half before 1950; about 53% are single units, and a little more than half of occupied homes are rented. Those are plan-area figures, not Eagle Rock alone, but they match what Eagle Rock streets show.
Eagle Rock (ZIP 90041) is a City of Los Angeles neighbourhood, which puts every street in it under the LADBS and LADWP process explained below. What makes Eagle Rock different is how much of its edge is another city. City Planning's Northeast Los Angeles Community Plan describes the community as bounded by Glendale on the west and Pasadena on the east. Glendale issues permits through its own Building and Safety Division and its electric utility is Glendale Water and Power rather than LADWP. Pasadena has its own Permit Center and Pasadena Water and Power. On a street near either line, we check the address and the utility bill before planning a service upgrade, because the meter-spot process, the inspector and the paperwork all change at the city limit.
Colorado Boulevard Specific Plan. Most of Colorado Boulevard's commercial frontage, from Eagle Dale Avenue on the west to Eagle Vista Drive on the east, falls under the Colorado Boulevard Specific Plan, in effect since 1992 and amended in 2007. For a shop or restaurant owner, the parts that touch electrical work are practical ones: for projects it covers, the plan calls for an exterior lighting plan approved before a building permit is issued, shielded outdoor fixtures, no floodlighting of buildings, exterior lighting other than safety, security and signs switched off once the business closes for the day, and sign approvals under its design review procedures. New utility lines serving a new project are to go underground. A lighting change on a Colorado Boulevard storefront is therefore worth checking against the plan before fixtures are ordered.
Hillside lots and the fire zone. Eagle Rock appears on the Los Angeles Fire Department's list of neighbourhoods partly inside the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone; whether one particular lot is inside is answered by the LAFD Fire Zone Map, not by the street name. LAFD also says CAL FIRE issued new recommended hazard maps for the city in March 2025, which the city must adopt by ordinance, so the lines may change. Separately, City Planning says the Baseline Hillside Ordinance applies to a lot when ZI-2462 appears in its free ZIMAS property profile. Neither rule is mainly about wiring, but both shape bigger projects such as additions and rebuilds, and on a sloping lot the climb between the street, the meter and a detached garage decides how a new circuit or charger run is routed.
Landmarks, but no HPOZ. City Planning's page for the Northeast Los Angeles Community Plan lists Historic Preservation Overlay Zones in El Sereno, Highland Park–Garvanza and Lincoln Heights, and none in Eagle Rock. Eagle Rock does have individually designated Historic-Cultural Monuments, among them the rock itself, the former Eagle Rock City Hall and the former Eagle Rock Branch Library, now the Center for the Arts Eagle Rock, both on Colorado Boulevard, Argus Court, and several houses. If a building is a designated monument, alterations go through City Planning review before permits are issued, so we raise it before planning a meter move, exterior conduit or new fixtures.
Permits come from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). A new circuit, an EV charger, a sub-panel or a panel replacement is permitted work, and LADBS will not send an inspector until the permit is issued. We pull it under our license and meet the inspector at the end.
Power comes from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), not Southern California Edison. For repairs, lighting, new outlets and a charger that fits on the existing panel, LADWP is not involved. For a panel or service upgrade it is: the job starts with LADWP's free meter spot, where an Electric Service Representative visits within five to fifteen business days, confirms where the new equipment may go and leaves a sketch at the job (single-family services up to 320 amps can be requested online). When only the meter needs setting, LADWP says that generally happens within ten working days. If the existing LADWP service can carry the new load there are generally no LADWP charges; work in the street, on a transformer or on the lines can add cost and time, and we find that out before you commit.
The permits and utilities guide explains the whole picture for the three counties we serve.
Glendale wraps Eagle Rock's northern and western sides and is a separate city, with its own Building and Safety Division and Glendale Water and Power. Pasadena, to the east, is another separate city, served by Pasadena Water and Power and its own Permit Center. To the southeast, Highland Park is a City of Los Angeles neighbourhood on LADBS and LADWP, but parts of it fall inside the Highland Park–Garvanza HPOZ, so exterior work there can need preservation review that most Eagle Rock houses do not. Glassell Park to the southwest is also a City of Los Angeles neighbourhood, and like Mount Washington and Atwater Village it belongs to the Northeast Los Angeles plan area.

Eagle Rock is part of the City of Los Angeles, which annexed it in 1923 after it had been a separate city since 1911. Glendale borders it on the north and west and Pasadena on the east, but both are separate cities. An Eagle Rock address therefore gets its electrical permit from LADBS, not from Glendale or Pasadena.
LADWP supplies electricity to homes inside Eagle Rock, because the neighbourhood is in the City of Los Angeles. Glendale Water and Power and Pasadena Water and Power serve their own cities, which start at Eagle Rock's edges. If you live close to the city line, the name on your electric bill is the easiest way to tell, and we confirm it before any service upgrade.
Yes, it can: for projects the plan covers, it requires an approved exterior lighting plan before a building permit is issued, and it sets rules for signs along its stretch of Colorado Boulevard. It calls for shielded fixtures, bans floodlighting of buildings, and asks that exterior lighting other than safety, security and signs be turned off once the business closes for the day. We review those rules with you before ordering storefront or parking-lot fixtures.
No HPOZ is listed for Eagle Rock on City Planning's Northeast Los Angeles page; the plan area's HPOZs are in Highland Park–Garvanza, El Sereno and Lincoln Heights. Some individual Eagle Rock buildings are designated Historic-Cultural Monuments, and those need City Planning review before alterations. For an ordinary older house that is not a monument, panel, circuit and lighting work follows the normal LADBS process.
It might be, since LAFD lists part of Eagle Rock in that zone; the department's Fire Zone Map answers the question lot by lot. The state issued new recommended maps for Los Angeles in 2025 that the city still has to adopt, according to LAFD, so it is worth checking again. For most interior electrical work the zone changes little; it matters more for additions, rebuilds and outdoor work on brush-facing lots.
Usually yes, if the owner arranges and authorizes the work and the panel has capacity for the new load. Some houses near the campus date from the 1910s and 1920s, so we check the existing service first and tell the owner whether a dedicated circuit fits or a panel upgrade is needed. Tenants are welcome to call with questions, but the owner signs off on the work.
