Building Division

The Building Division reviews project plans, issues permits, and provides inspection services for compliance of California's Building, Fire, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Energy, and Disabled Access codes, as well as City ordinances, for all new and existing buildings in the City. We respond to citizen concerns regarding illegal construction and substandard (living or dwelling) conditions as outlined in the International Property Maintenance Code.

This Division also provides project review and inspections for fire and life safety code compliance, and provide hazardous material and water system analysis. Staff works closely with the Fire Department assisting in annual fire inspection of certain types of occupancies, wild land interface regulations, and fire prevention issues.

Our Neighborhood Services section responds to citizen concerns and promotes a safe and attractive community through enforcement of the City's Municipal Code.
