IF THE APPLICANT CHOOSES NOT TO APPLY for the occupancy permit due to fees being owed or open building permits be sure they understand that they cannot occupy the premises until their housing obligation are cleared and they are issued an occupancy permit. IF THE APPLICANT CHOOSES TO APPLY for the occupancy permit be sure to explain that the $25 application fee is non-refundable. Ensure that the property is large enough for the number of people on the occupancy permit application and that all persons listed on the application fall within the definition of a family – which means that no more than 3 unrelated individuals can occupy the same dwelling unit. If the applicant feels that the unit is larger than what our records indicate, then an inspection for “measurements” should be arranged (no charge). *If there is a current inspection but the occupancy status indicates “occupancy prohibited” arrange a reinspection with the applicant. Make sure that they understand that their application cannot be accepted until the “prohibit” is lifted off of the property. Inspection Fees Payments for inspections are due at the time of scheduling. The cost for a single family housing inspection is $77. A building with 3 or more units is $60 per unit. Inspections can be scheduled in person or via postal mail. Remember to check the inspection fees in the black three ring binders and trash bill to make sure there are no fees owed before scheduling inspections. Scheduling Housing Inspections The Property Maintenance Inspectors can have up to six original inspections and four reinspections per ay. The Specialty Inspectors (Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical) can have up to 10 inspections per day. REMEMBER: (1) Always check the original date of the last inspection. If the inspection has been done within 6 months of the date of applying for a new inspection, a new inspection does not have to be conducted—this is only if the original inspection had 0 violations. However, if violations were noted and it is still within the 6 months, inform the person who is scheduling that they will need a reinspection performed and (2) check for any delinquent fees on the property. ?
