Building Department / Health Officer
The Montpelier Fire Department is responsible for the Building Inspector and Health Officer functions. This allows for a coordinated effort to ensure that city residents and visitors have safe and healthy conditions where they live, work, and visit. One full time employee with training and qualifications in both areas performs this work.
The Building Inspector has two primary tasks: 1) reviewing and providing support for construction jobs in the City and 2) inspecting current buildings. Reviewing and inspecting construction done in the City ensures that work is done according to code. In June, 2007 the department took over the plans review for public buildings from the State and is now responsible for virtually all construction in the City. The Building Permit system allows us to provide this service. Most construction, except for minor repairs or routine maintenance, requires a Building Permit. In 2007, 279 building permits were processed and inspections were done as needed to support those efforts.
It is important to remember that most building permits require a final inspection and Certificate of Occupancy. Failure to have the Certificate of Occupancy may cause problems during the sale or refinancing of a building. If your building permit was issued after May of 2006 and you did not get a Certificate of Occupancy, please contact the Building Inspector. Existing buildings, especially residential rental units, are inspected to ensure proper maintenance and operation. Buildings are inspected on receipt of a complaint or on a scheduled basis. Complaints are given a high priority while scheduled inspections are done as resources are available. The emphasis here is to ensure safe and healthy conditions. In 2007 there were 135 inspections done.
The Building Inspector has provided personalized service to the community. This includes regularly fielding phone calls from contractors and residents. He provided a one day class for contractors and building owners on the codes and other City requirements.
As Health Officer, there is the need to respond to complaints and proactively act to protect the community from public health threats. Areas of regular activities are rental housing, rabies and animal bites, garbage control and rats, mold complaints, lead abatement issues, carbon monoxide and smoke complaints, water supplies, septic tanks, and restaurant inspections. Special situations also involve the Health Officer when they occur. The Health Officer works under the authority of the Vermont Department of Health.
