Adding an accessory dwelling unit in Hollywood can unlock rental income, flexible family space, or a dedicated office near transit and neighborhood amenities. MF ADU offers pre-engineered, permit-ready models and a managed path from feasibility to installation, tailored to Hollywood’s lot patterns, alley access, and review timelines.

Hollywood permitting at a glance

ADUs are allowed on most single-family and many multifamily parcels (site-specific). Typical considerations include setbacks, height, lot coverage, utility locations, and any required parking. Historic or Hillside overlays can add steps; our feasibility check flags these early and maps the path if eligible. (General info; final eligibility depends on your parcel and current city rules.)

What the process looks like

  1. Feasibility & Fit – Review parcel, access, utilities, and the best-fit model.

  2. Selections & Scope – Confirm finishes, options, and site-work assumptions.

  3. Permits & Approvals – Prepare a permit-ready package and coordinate with the city.

  4. Site Work & Installation – Foundation, trenching, delivery/assembly, finish, inspections.

  5. Handover – Walkthrough, documents, and guidance for rental or guest use.
