The Building Inspections Section (structures, plumbing, electrical and HVAC) is responsible for all building construction related inspections with the goal to protect life, limb, property, and adherence to applicable codes. This goal is accomplished through identifying structural strength and stability, establishing viable means of egress, proper sanitation control, adequate lighting and ventilation, energy conservation, and personal property safety from fire and other hazards.
