Building Inspections
Is a building permit required to finish a portion of my basement?
Yes, enclosing areas in your basement can affect the safe operation of your existing mechanical equipment such as the furnace and HWH as well as affecting light and ventilation requirements. Creating sleeping rooms also requires at least one emergency exit egress window in each room.
