How to request an inspection or check inspection results

All inspection requests for plumbing, gas piping, backflow assemblies, and medical gas piping, must be requested through our Integrated Voice Response (IVR) system. An inspection request for different permits on a project should be requested separately for each permit.

• A "same day" inspection must be requested before 6 am that day.
• An inspection request is not a "scheduled inspection". Inspectors will call the morning of the requested day to confirm when the inspection will take place.
  • Inspections are not guaranteed to happen on the day requested.
  • Inspections are not scheduled for a specific time of the day. The assigned inspector may provide a time frame given their assigned inspections.

• Inspections can be canceled through the IVR when submitted by 5:55 am the day of. If a cancelation is needed after 6 am, inform the inspector when they call or call one of the senior inspectors.
• Please be sure to answer the callback number between 6:30 am to 8 am.
  • Check for any messages during this time.
  • Make sure the voicemail is active (not full).
