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).
