Notify the inspector who will conduct a follow-up inspection to assure that all violations have been corrected. If a permit is required, the application for it must be made before the date specified on the Violation Notice. Plans must accompany the application. Permit applications and Plan Examination are located in Room 505 of Cleveland City Hall. No appointments are necessary.
Work requiring permits ordinarily is performed only by registered, licensed contractors.
The one exception is work to be performed on a single or double home by the owner-occupant. In that case, the City will issue a homeowner's permit. If more time is needed to prepare plans and apply for a permit, contact the inspector or, in his or her absence, the chief inspector. An extension of time may be granted for good reason or when substantial progress has been made - provided that the request was received before the compliance date specified on the Violation Notice. Once a permit is issued, work to correct the violations must be completed by a stipulated time, normally 30 days from the issuance date of the permit.
