Inspections  
Requests for Inspection
All Inspection Requests must now be made through our new Interactive Voice Response System, DirectRequest. With DirectRequest you can schedule an Inspection with any City organization involved with Development Review. You may also cancel a Scheduled Inspection, obtain Inspection Results, check the status of projects that are currently in the Plan Review process, receive a Permit Inspection History by fax or check Zoning Status. For more information or to print a copy of our handy reference guide, visit our DirectRequest web page.

Requests must be made through DirectRequest by midnight to be scheduled for inspection on the next business day. Scheduled Inspections may be cancelled using DirectRequest until 4:00 am on the day of the scheduled Inspection.

All Permits and Approved Plans are required to be on-site or in the general contractor's site offices at the time of the inspection. The general contractor or permit holder is responsible for insuring that all areas are inspected prior to concealment.

Areas of inspections need to be ready when the inspection is requested.

The general contractor needs to keep the Building Inspection Services staff aware of the construction schedule and the projected completion date. Please provide a copy of your schedule of critical path inspections and desired Certificate of Occupancy date. This information is critical and must be updated as necessary.

For general Inspection questions you may call our Inspector of the Day  at 425-444-2425 or send an email to Inspection Questions.

For Certificate of Occupancy questions you may call our Permit Coordinator at 425-556-2461 or send an e-mail to C. of O. Questions.
