| The Building Inspections Division performs technical
inspections for permits after they have been issued. No work
is allowed to be performed until the permit has been issued
unless approved by the Building Commissioner in writing and
in advance.
The permit holder is required to obtain all applicable
inspections for the permit obtained. He is required to notify the
Building Inspections Division through our Inspection Request
Line (853-1142) when the construction reaches a stage of
completion which requires an inspection. Our inspectors will
ALWAYS leave a written record of their inspection at the jobsite.
Please don’t assume that the inspector has been there or
that the inspection has been approved.
EVERY PERMIT MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE INSPECTION!
A permit will expire if the work authorized by the permit
is not started within six months after it is issued and a permit
will also expire if there is no activity recorded by the Building
Inspections Division in any six month period. No work
should be done under an expired permit and inspections cannot
be scheduled or performed for an expired permit. If your
permit has expired, you must submit a written request for an
extension to the Building Inspections Division. It is your responsibility to prove to the Building Commissioner that the
work has not been suspended or abandoned.
Expired permits may affect your ability to obtain future permits. |
