Onsite plans and requirements for beginning construction
You are not authorized to commence construction until you have your permit posted and approved plans onsite. Also, L&I must perform an initial inspection before work begins.
- Request the inspection by calling the L&I automated (IVR) phone system at (215) 255-4040 at least 24-hours prior to starting work.
