Building Inspections

The building inspector’s mission is to ensure commercial buildings and residential homes that are constructed, altered, or maintained in the City of Clifton meet recognized standards for quality of life and building safety.  The City reviews plans and inspects construction to enforce International Building Codes.

The building inspector works part-time and is only available three days per week.  Contact City Hall to request an inspection – he’s always busy, so don’t wait until the same day or even the day before to set up an inspection! Call ahead of time!
