    Scheduling Inspections

    The Department of Public Works has an Automatic Inspection Scheduling System. By calling 615-4677, you can schedule either a drainlaying, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, residential or structural inspection.

    All inspections must be scheduled 24 hours in advance. Please note: Inspections called in on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be scheduled for the following Monday.

    To utilize the Automatic Inspection Scheduling System, call 615-4677. You will be asked to enter your 5 digit permit number, then asked to enter the year of the permit. Choose the inspection category (example: electrical or plumbing), then select the specific inspection(s) to be scheduled.

    On the day of your inspection, please have your #2 Authorization Permit Card posted and accessible for the inspector to sign. Also, your plans should be available at the job site for the inspector.

    If you are unable to meet the inspector at the job site, you may place the Authorization card and the building plans in a sealed plastic bag (in case of inclement weather).
