Beginning June 1, 2020, the Building Department lobby will be open to the public again.  All residents/ contractors/ visitors will need to wear a mask upon entering the building.  We are still issuing permits and conducting inspections.  We highly encourage all building permit applications, contractor registration applications, apartment/ condo registrations, and any other supporting correspondence be emailed to one of the following email addresses depending on the subject and we will then follow up with you as needed:
