Roofing in San Pedro runs through the City of Los Angeles, with an LADBS counter in the neighborhood for the express permit. San Pedro is in climate zone 6, and parts of it are on the LAFD list for the Very High fire zone.
San Pedro homes, by the census
ACS 2020-2024 gives San Pedro a median year built of 1968 and about 6,401 owner-occupied single-family homes (U.S. Census Bureau). Those totals cover the whole neighborhood.
For each roof, the scope names the covering, underlayment, flashing and deck separately, since a tear-off shows which layer failed first.
Climate zone 6 in San Pedro
San Pedro is in climate zone 6 (California Energy Commission zone list). The state's steep-slope table lists zone 4 and zones 8 through 15, so zone 6 is not in it, but the low-slope table covers zones 6 through 15.
The City's rule applies either way: above 50 percent of a home's roof, SRI 20 on a steep slope and SRI 78 on a low slope (LADWP, 2022).
