Construction in the neighborhood brings sounds and sights quite out of the ordinary -- hammers, saws, trucks, dumpsters, cranes, piles of building materials, and portable toilets, just to name a few.  Workers' trucks and private cars may complicate the parking situation on your block.

Noise and inconvenience are inevitable, but temporary. The Manhattan Beach City Council has taken steps to help minimize the inconvenience during construction, and reduce the possibility of conflict between the construction companies and the neighboring residents.

In October 2005, City Council approved a new position called the Residential Construction Officer  (RCO) to be the proactive liaison between builders, neighbors, and appropriate City departments and agencies. 

The Manhattan Beach Residential Construction Officer is assigned to handle questions and concerns regarding construction in Manhattan Beach, CA.  The office is open Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. You may contact the Manhattan Beach Residential Construction Officer at (310) 802-5506 or by e-mail.
