Inspections

Building Inspections

Building codes are established to provide minimum standards for safeguarding life or limb, health, property and public welfare by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location and maintenance of all buildings and structures.

Building inspection is the method by which the City ensures that construction work is conducted in compliance with the Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes as well as approved plans.

Building Inspectors and Qualifications:

Pursuant to the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) Section 8-2-26.1, the building inspectors employed by the City of Chamblee are deemed to be Qualified Inspectors, as defined by said code section, for the inspections they are assigned to perform.

These inspectors are under contract to the City part-time to provide plan review and inspection services.  Inspections and reviews are scheduled daily depending on the plans submitted and inspections requested.  In addition to providing daily inspections at pre-arranged time periods, we make every attempt to arrange meetings, consultations and courtesy inspections as needed within a convenient and reasonable time frame. Most inspections are scheduled for the same day or next day and the Director will advise the contractor of the time frame for the next available inspection - usually within a 2 hour window. 

All requests for inspections and contacts with the Inspectors are scheduled by contacting the Permits & Inspections Department at (770) 986-5024.
