location permit

I'm looking to secure an alley way for a several day shoot. Live in LA and have never done this before, what is the best foot to start on? Calling local city council? Websites? Etc. Appreciate any advice, thanks.
 
in philadelphia where I work the film office is very helpful. Contact your local film office and let them know when you are shooting and where you want to shoot and they will assist you in securing the location. There might be fees (permits, police if locking off a street etc) but it's better to pay the fees then shoot without the permit and get shut down.
