If, after taking into account nonconforming rights, the inspection report indicates that any building or portion thereof does not conform to the requirements of Chapter IX of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, that portion shall be made to conform.
When compliance has been secured, or if no corrections are required as a result of the inspection report, the Department will issue to the owner a Certificate of Building Compliance stating that the building is now in substantial compliance with the applicable provisions of Chapter IX of the Los Angeles Municipal Code for existing buildings.
The issuance of this certificate shall not be construed by any person to be a representation, guarantee or warranty of the premises for any purpose, including, but not limited to, fitness, suitability, or freedom from defects, either latent or patent. Nor is the issuance of this certificate to be construed to be a waiver of any immunity provided to public entities and public employees under state law, including, but not limited to, those immunities provided by Division 3.6 of Title 1 of the California Government Code.
