• PROGRESS INSPECTIONS DURING BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
• Individuals who have a building permit for new construction or a major renovation are required to contact us to arrange an inspection of specific portions of their work. They should be calling a minimum of 24 hours in advance; however changing weather conditions may result in their calling and asking for a "hurry-up" inspection (ex. they have holes dug for footings and its going to rain the next day). If their "hurry-up" reason sounds valid, it is valid to have the Code Enforcement Officer paged.
