Inspection Requests:

You will need to phone in your inspection requests at (562) 594-8553 twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the day you wish to have an inspector on your job site; however, usually inspection requests received by 5:00PM can be scheduled for the next day. When you make your request, please have your permit number available, as this will expedite the scheduling process.  We also need the type of inspection you are requesting as well as a contact person and telephone number.

Final Inspection/Certificate of Occupancy

A final inspection can be requested by calling each department requiring an inspection directly.  The phone number is located on the red or green stickers adhered to the plans.

Once the departments requiring a final inspection have been contacted, the inspector will conduct a final inspection.  The inspection card will be signed by all the inspectors once all requirements have been met.  Once the project is complete and the inspection card has been signed by all appropriate City agencies, you may then apply for a Certificate of Occupancy.

No fees are required for the Certificate of Occupancy; however, any outstanding inspection or permit fees will be collected before the certificate is issued.

Permit Expiration

Permits are valid for 180 days from the date of issuance.  Regular inspections keep your permit valid.  The Building Official may grant one extension, based on the circumstances of the request.  Requests for an extension must be made in writing prior to the permit expiration date.
