5600-5700 block of W Wilshire Blvd (commercial + food service), Los Angeles, CA 90036
Replace the dirtiest reachable air filter and log a day of CO2, 5600-5700 W Wilshire block.
A worker pulls a dust-loaded HVAC filter from its frame and replaces it with a new one, then sets a CO2 monitor in the room to log a day of readings. Read all of it
Not funded yet. Settles as earned credit, $80 proposed.

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Replace the dirtiest reachable air filter and log a day of CO2. The rooms people work in all day run on filters nobody dates and air nobody measures. One replaced filter and one honest day of CO2 readings tell a space more about its air than a year of assuming. The filters sit clogged with dust and the air stays unmeasured. Never open a fan-powered unit or climb a ladder for a filter. Confirm with the site's host before you claim: this listing names a block, not a building, and does not mean any owner asked for the work. For the payer: - Likely payer: The building's owner or manager, paying directly. - No license is needed: swapping air filters is maintenance, not construction work, so no contractor license applies.
Offer to pay $80. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Floor-reachable filters only; no ladder work, no ceiling tiles, no fan-powered units opened. Kitchen hood filters are excluded; they are degreaser work under a different rung. Stop and tell the owner before you disturb pre-1978 paint beyond the EPA RRP minor-repair limit or anything that may be asbestos (vermiculite, duct wrap, popcorn ceiling, 9-inch floor tile); photograph it, never touch it, and leave it to an RRP-certified firm or a licensed abatement contractor.
The full safety list for this job:
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: slip-resistant closed-toe shoes for steps, stools and wet floors; nitrile gloves for filter dust, mold and grime.
- Orientation, section 3203: the crew's injury and illness prevention program orientation comes before any work.
- Hazardous energy, section 3314: if a unit must be off to change the filter, only an authorized employee following the employer's lockout/tagout procedure switches it off and locks it out. You never open a panel, never start a unit that someone has tagged, and if no authorized employee is there, stop and leave the unit alone.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Obtain the owner's or manager's written consent for this work at this address before you start (a signed form, an email or a text that names the address and the work). Write who gave it and the date at the top of your proof. With no consent, stop.
- Find every return grille and filter slot reachable from the floor; photograph each filter as found, with its printed size.
- Buy the matching size at the hardware store and replace the dirtiest one; write the date on the new filter's frame in marker.
- Photograph old and new side by side, and the dated frame installed.
- Set a CO2 meter in the busiest occupied room and log the reading at open, mid-shift and close for one working day.
- Hand the building the filter map (sizes, dates, which were replaced) and the day's CO2 log with the peak flagged.
What counts as done
- Photo of each filter as found with printed size visible
- Old and new filter side-by-side photo, plus the dated frame installed
- CO2 log with three timed readings and the peak flagged
- GPS waypoint of the space
- Site record: the exact site's name and street address, and the contact who agreed to the work
- Consent: the owner's or manager's written consent, naming the address and the work, dated before the first photo.
- Sign-off: the owner or manager signs off the finished work in writing. Write who signed and the date, or the date you asked.
- Photos: take the before photo and the after photo from the same point (stand where the first one was taken and match its frame), each with its GPS point and its date and time.
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Living Building Challenge, Health and Happiness Petal. The Health and Happiness Petal holds a plain conviction: a building should leave you healthier than it found you. Fresh air moving through every room, daylight on the table, paints and finishes that do not fill a child's bedroom with fumes. Mastery looks like an interior where the air has been measured and found clean, not assumed clean. It starts at exactly the scale of this packet: check one vent, read one meter, open one path for air and light, and write down what you found. Healthy buildings are built from checked rooms.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
