You can view the status of your inspection anytime online by using our permit/case search tool. Be sure to have your permit number or IVR number available to use the search. This tool allows you to see the status of complaints and permits issue after January 2000.

Work may not be approved for a number of reasons: the inspector may not have access to do the inspection, the work may not be complete or there may be code violations. If corrections need to be made, the inspector will note them on the inspection report. You will need to make any needed corrections and request a reinspection. Please note that a reinspection fee may be charged for more than one reinspection for a single issue.
