A Mechanical Permit is required for the erection, installation, alteration, repair, relocation, replacement or remodel, addition to, use or maintenance of any mechanical system, such as heating, cooling, ventilation, refrigeration system, incinerators, or other heat producing appliances.
Fees for Mechanical Permits are itemized and based on the types and quantities of mechanical systems involved.
Steps include:
- get a Building Permit before submitting a Mechanical Permit Application for construction work requiring one;
- if construction is limited to installation and alteration of a mechanical system for which a Building Permit is not needed, submit the completed Mechanical Permit Application and required fee to Building Division;
- a Mechanical Permit will be issued at the counter in the Permit Center on the day of application while you wait (15 - 30 minutes);
- call for an mechanical inspection (510-583-4148) when the work is completed and ready for inspection. (The job card on the reverse side of the Mechanical Permit lists required inspections at each stage of construction).
For more information, please call Building Division at 510-583-4140
