Building
safety inspectors provide inspection
services for commercial and residential construction projects on private
property. This is how the city ensures that safety standards are being
adhered too. Inspections are made in accordance with the city's adopted
building codes and standards.
Inspectors evaluate and analyze a wide variety of structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing installations for code compliance. In addition to responding to permitted construction activity, Building Safety provides periodic inspection of elevator equipment and fuel dispensing systems (line and tank testing).
