What does it mean when a building permit application is “on hold”?
Usually a building permit application is put on hold when additional information is required by the plans examiner reviewing your building permit application. Additional information may consist of calculations and/or revised drawings. Plan Revewer / Plans Examiner’s comments will be sent to the contact person(s) of the building permit application when it is put on hold. For more information, please call the Department of Building Inspection, Customer Service Division at (415) 558-6088 or the Department of Building Inspection, Permit Services – Permit Processing Center at (415) 558-6644.
