Organization Structure / Staff

The Building Codes Administration Department works with architects, engineers, builders, contractors, developers, and citizens to resolve building and electrical code issues. The enforcement of building codes ensure that minimum requirements for safeguarding public health, safety, and welfare are met through structural strength, means of egress, stability, sanitation, adequate light and ventilation, energy conservation, and safety to life and property.

The department is responsible for performing building plan review on residential and commercial projects. It issues building permits and performs various field inspections from the beginning to the completion of a project. These inspections are required to ensure that projects are constructed per the approved plans and built to minimum standards of the building code.

As illustrated below, NKAPC’s Department of Building Codes Administration is one of the agency’s five substantive departments. The department’s staff is responsible for reviewing and issuing residential and commercial building permits for all area planning commission contracts and following up with complaints and violations to ensure property maintenance.
