The City Building Division inspects all reroof projects for which a building permit is issued. Built-up roofs are inspected after the roofing is torn off and all rotted or damaged roof has been removed and replaced. Shake and shingle roofs are inspected after the existing roof has been removed and the new sheathing has been nailed. Metal roofs are inspected after the installation of the nailing battens and required fire stopping. All of the roofs require a final inspection upon completion of the work. It is the responsibility of the home-owner or the contractor to insure that all inspections have been made including the final inspection.
