Residential Inspections
Residential inspections are required for one and two family dwellings, including duplexes and two unit row houses. Types of inspections include: structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing permit inspections. Other inspections include: electrical safety inspections for the Multnomah County Adult Care Program, ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) inspections, code evaluation inspections, manufactured home inspections and special inspections.
The 1 & 2 Family Inspection Section is also referred to as "Combination Inspections" because residential BDS inspectors are trained to inspect all aspects of the project. This saves homeowners, contractors, and the City time, money, and energy in providing inspection services to you.
Once your building permit is issued, erosion control measures must be installed, inspected and approved, prior to beginning any further ground disturbing activities.
