Inspection Process Overview

Inspection requests must be done through the IVR system. In order to obtain a next day inspection, the inspection request must be made before midnight. Inspection requests made between midnight Wednesday and midnight Sunday will automatically be scheduled for Monday. To request an inspection, please refer to the User’s Guide for IVR obtained with your permit or visit the IVR webpage.

Inspections must be ready at the time the inspection is requested. Please see our Inspection Checklist for a partial list of what is expected at various stages of construction. Failure to be ready for the requested inspection may result in a $100.00 reinspection fee. Inspections are performed between the hours of 8:00am and 3:00pm Monday through Thursday. If you have questions regarding the estimated time of arrival on the jobsite, or questions regarding code requirements for your project, you may speak to your inspector by calling Building Safety between the hours of 7:00am to 7:30am or 4:00pm to 5:00pm.

You must receive an approved inspection every 180 days. Should you be unable to receive inspections in a timely manner, you are entitled to a one-time six month extension, which must be submitted to and approved by Building Safety.
