Permits and Inspections

fire_extinguisher_1Fire and life safety inspections are conducted annually on all businesses and residential dwellings with three units or more in order to promote the safety of the community. Click to download an inspection checklist.

An initial inspection is conducted, and a fee is assessed regardless of whether the building passes or fails inspection. If the inspection fails due to code violations, a notice is sent and a re-inspection is scheduled. If violations are corrected and the building passes upon re-inspection, no additional fee will be assessed. If the violations are not corrected by the time of the first re-inspection and the building fails inspection, an additional fee will be assessed. Therefore, it is important to comply with the inspection result notices and have any violations abated before the re-inspection.
