2025 Parcels with DINS data

Update May 7th, 2025 - BSD_Tag is finalized, with definitions below. * * A “Red” tag indicates that the property has been assessed and deemed uninhabitable due to severe damage or safety hazards resulting from the wildfire. The red tagged properties shall not be entered or occupied. <o:p></o:p> * A “Yellow” tag indicates that the property has been assessed and deemed safe for limited access, but certain areas are restricted due to safety concerns. Restricted areas may include parts of the property that are structurally compromised (e.g., living room, garage, etc.) and areas with unstable structures.<o:p></o:p> Update April 28, 2025 - Added.a new field, TT_Eligible, which contains final eligibility status as determined by Tetratech, who performed a manual review of properties. The field has the following values: * Eligible from DINS (n=11.806) * Excluded by Tetratech (n=242) - generally individual condominiums in a large group where only a few condos were damaged or destroyed * Included by Tetratech (n=79) - properties where the DINS data incorrectly identified parcels as undamaged or minor damage. Update April 25, 2025 - BSD_Tag field updated with changes and corrections from BSD. Update March 28th 2025 - Preliminary BSD tagging / ATC data added under BSD_Tag field. The source data comes from BSD and was joined to the Parcel DINS dataset. Possible ATC values are Yellow (Restricted Use) and Red (Unsafe). There were some Green (Inspected) records in the original data, however, those are incomplete since inspectors were focused on the more severe cases. Residential and commercial parcels with a DINS status of Destroyed (Damage > 50%) were also given a value of Red (Unsafe). In cases where there was more than one BSD record on a parcel, the more severe value was used. IMPORTANT: The ATC data is still being reviewed and refined. Therefore, the values in the BSD_Tag field are subject to change. Additionally, the ATC data is only available for the unincorporated areas. Process used to calculate BSD_Tag: * For Eaton: Red-tagging information came from EPIC-LA extract. Red-tagging with a focus on pools occurred on 1/18-1/19/2025 so these records were excluded. An initial base of red-tagged properties was created with the Parcel DINS data using the following criteria UseType = Residential or Commercial, LegalCity = Unincorporated, and Damage category = Destroyed. The BSD_Tag was then overwritten with the red-tagging coming from the EPIC-LA dataset, joining by AIN. * For Palisades: The process was simpler. The BSD_Tag data came directly from EPIC-LA/Calabasas Office survey and joined to the Parcel DINS dataset using the AIN. No additional querying or work was necessary. Dataset last updated on March 26th, 2025 This dataset comes from two data sources: 1. Los Angeles County Parcel Data. See this link for for information: [https://data.lacounty.gov/documents/4d67b154ae614d219c58535659128e71/about] 2. Damage Inspection (DINS) Data from CalFire: Eaton: [https://data.lacounty.gov/maps/6254ba9f9c4f4b0f886f24c902c8eda3] Palisades: [https://data.lacounty.gov/datasets/CALFIRE-Forestry::dins-2025-palisades-public-view/about] Process: The dataset includes all parcels within the Established Fire Perimeters from CalFIRE and all parcels that had DINS inspections for any and all structures (including miscellaneous structures which had been removed in earlier version). If more than one DINS inspection occurred on a parcel, the information from the most damaged building was attached to the parcel. Update March 19th 2025 - To support new reporting requirements, we changed the use description for Condominiums (4-digit Use Code ending in 'C' from Residential - Single to Residential - Condominium' Update March 19th 2025 - To support the complete removal of all debris, all properties that were identified as "Inaccessible" (28 total) were reviewed using post-fire aerial imagery and updated. 26 out of the 28 were undamaged, and 2 were identified as destroyed. Additionally, parcels where a Damage Inspection (DINS_Count) had not been done, but the Assessor had a unit count (Total_Units) greater than 0 were also manually inspected. This resulted in an additional 40 parcels identified as damaged (36 destroyed). Some of these parcels reflect a single building covering more than one property. Buildings that were under construction had their unit and square footage count set to zero. The DINS_Count for these properties was changed from <null> to 0. Update March 13th 2025 - per LA County Building and Safety and Environmental Programs Division, we have updated the logic to revert back to earlier logic, where DINS damage information was assigned for the most damaged structure on a parcel, regardless of type. This impacted about 680 properties, increasing the damage counts for the total. Update March 4th 2025 - per LA County Building and safety, we have updated the logic. We only assigned DINS damage information when there was a building that was not a "miscellaneous structure." In some cases, the main house had a lower damage assessment than a miscellaneous structure like a garage. We also did not include DINS data for parcels that ONLY had a miscellaneous structure. We also identified parcels where the was a DINS structure, a site address, but no Parcel Unit information. In this case we calculated the number of units on the parcel to be the same as the number of DINS units. This was about 300 parcels. Lastly, we reviewed individual parcels where the parcel was in the middle of a transaction/transition (the parcel AIN had changed) - we reviewed about 25 parcels and manually entered the correct information for the parcel from the Assessor portal.
