Permitted

Confirming your locations is the only thing on this page that’s yours to do. After that, the clock belongs to the city, and Mula cannot make it move faster.

Your filing window

Confirm by Tuesday Sep 8

Monday the 7th is Labor Day, so the city is not reading anything that day. Confirm your locations by 10 a.m. Tuesday the 8th and Mula files that same morning. From there the city takes three business days, Wednesday through Friday, and the permit lands September 11, three days ahead of your September 14 shoot.

Miss the 10 a.m. cutoff on the 8th and the filing waits for Wednesday instead, which lands the permit on the 14th, the same morning your first truck rolls. That is why the deadline is the 8th, not the 9th.

Nine days, four locations

One filing covers all of it once you confirm.

  • The Vernon warehouse3
  • The Elysian Park bungalow2
  • The San Pedro pier2
  • The Sun Valley stage2
  • Days you are filing for9

  • Permit issued Waits on the city’s three business days.

What the city asks for

Its certificate is not filed yet. When Mula files, it carries the wording the city’s own form requires, nothing swapped in from a standard package.

  • An admitted carrierThe insurer has to be licensed to write policies in this state. Yours is.
  • Scheduled wording, not blanketThe city has to be named on your certificate by name, not folded into a general list.
  • $1,000,000 each occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregateThe most it pays on one claim, and the most it pays across every claim in the policy year.

What Mula does. What you do.

Mula enters the insurance approval and files the application with the city. You confirm the days. Nobody at Mula can make the city move faster.

If the city sends the filing back

The city sent the filing back.

Sent back

The city’s requirement, whether or not it is reasonable. Say it came back because the certificate carried blanket wording instead of scheduled, the one difference its form does not allow.

Mula refiles with the fix the same day the city responds, but the three business days start over from the refiling, not from Tuesday. Bounced Wednesday and refiled that afternoon, the new count runs Thursday, Friday, and Monday the 14th, since the weekend does not count toward it. The permit lands the same morning your first truck does, not three days ahead of it.
