The primary objectives of the Building
Inspection Division are to provide construction standards enforcement
to safeguard health and property in the interest of public welfare.
This is accomplished through City ordinances, adoption of model
codes and standards, inspection of construction, alterations, moving,
demolition, repair and use of buildings and structures. The building
Inspection Division issues required permits, checks building plans
for compliance with code requirements, validates contractors; licenses
and workers compensation insurance, performs inspections during
the course of construction and maintains records of all activities
of the division. The division inspects substandard buildings and
issues notices for rehabilitation or demolition, if required. This
Division is responsible for enforcement of building codes as they
apply to all phases of site plan, building and structure inspections.
