Plumbing/Mechanical Inspection Division (PID)
is responsible for assuring, through inspections,
the proper functioning for installations of drainage,
water, gas, and other mechanical systems covered
in the Plumbing and Mechanical Codes. These
inspections are carried out in buildings which are newly
constructed, remodeled, or repaired. PID additionally
inspects fire sprinkler installations to assure compliance
with the plans approved by the Fire Department
and conducts inspections as required by various
ordinances. Such ordinances include: the Night Club
and Massage Parlor Ordinances (which require code
compliance prior to business license issuance); and
the Boiler Ordinance which requires that PID maintain
records, send renewal notices, and prepare Notices of
Violations against non-complying property owners.
