Selective interior demolition for a remodel is a different discipline from bringing down a whole structure. Load path, shoring and what stays protected matter. Ask whether the crew has worked in occupied buildings where noise and dust limits apply.
Neighbor notification requirements apply on some demolition permits in dense blocks. Ask whether the contractor posts the permit and handles dust fencing at the property line.
Class C-21 (Building Moving and Demolition) covers building moving and demolition — the classification CSLB issues for wrecking, dismantling and removing structures. It is not general building, and hazardous material abatement requires separate certifications. Load-bearing wall removal requires shoring designed for the loads above, and demolition contractors should not improvise that engineering.
Contractors listed hold an active Class C-21 (Building Moving and Demolition) licence at a Downey address. Demolition permits in Downey route through City of Downey, and the contractor should name the submittal timeline. Hazardous materials discovered during demo stop work until tested, and abatement is a separate scope from standard demolition.

Most structure removals need a demolition permit from City of Downey, including utility clearance signatures. Starting without one can stop the job and trigger fines.

Sorting requirements and disposal sites vary. The contractor should name the hauler and recycling rate for concrete and metal.
