Codes and Regulations Committee
This group helps building owners, operators, and their service providers navigate building code and regulations issues at all levels of government. These meetings are your opportunity to directly advocate to government officials on pressing issues and learn about important codes and regulations issues that impact your building operations.
LA’s Department of Building and Safety, LAFD, and other government entities provide standing updates and field feedback from BOMA/GLA members. Meetings also include member-led discussions on what you need to know about fire and life safety, elevator retrofits, EV charging mandates, and permitting, along with occasional expert guest speakers.
