Building Divison

The Building Division is one of the divisions that make up the Community Development Department. The Building Division ensures the safe occupancy of buildings by verifying construction compliance with the building and fire codes, which is achieved through the application and enforcement of State laws and City ordinances governing the construction, use, and maintenance of structures on private and public property.

In this capacity, the Building Division administers federal, state, and municipal regulations regarding architectural compliance, structural stability, seismic safety, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, accessibility for people with disabilities, energy conservation, green building, and tenant protection during construction.

Services provided by the division include public counter permitting operations, plan reviews, inspections, and maintenance of permit and construction records
