Inspections
Step 11: Inspections
Each phase of construction must be inspected to make certain the work conforms to the Code, Building Permit and the approved plans.
If an inspector finds that some work does not conform to approved plans, the inspector will advise that the situation is to be remedied. If the violation is serious, a stop-work order may be posted until the problem is resolved.
Inspectors are also responsible for investigating complaints about properties and having any code violations corrected.
Each permit or complaint is assigned to an inspector who will see that items conform to all provisions of the applicable building codes and/or the Cincinnati Zoning Code.
Inspectors may be reached between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on weekdays. Normally, 24 to 48 hours advance notice is required.
To schedule an inspection pertaining to your specific project, please call the inspector listed on the front of your building, plumbing or mechanical permit.
To schedule an inspection not pertaining to a permit, call 513-352-3267.
Inspection results are posted to the permit on the next business day, and those results, along with other permit history, can be viewed online.
