Typically, three zoning compliance inspections are conducted during the course of construction – an initial site inspection at the stake-out stage, a second inspection at the footings stage, and a final inspection upon completion of the project for issuance of an Occupancy Certificate. These inspections are not building inspections. They are conducted to determine that the project is in compliance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and / or the Floodplain Ordinance.
