This inspection is also known as a pre-sale inspection.

Once the entire application is complete it must be taken to the building and safety department with the appropriate fee in the form of cash, credit or cashiers check.
At the time you pay the appropriate fee, you can also schedule an appointment for an inspector to come out and inspect your property. Before the inspector will appear, you must contact the Building and Safety department between 7:00 AM - 8:30 am to confirm your appointment and to get a window time for your inspection, if one is available.
