Dear Customers,
Good news! As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our customer service and modernize our operations, the Department of Building Inspection (DBI) is making it easier for you to request public records.
Starting today, issued building permits, job cards, and Certificates of Final Completion and Occupancy can be ordered using an online form instead of email.
This change will make it easier for you to request the records and will reduce the turnaround time for us to fulfill your request. Here’s a link to the Request Public Building Records webpage with the new form.
Once you try this new form, please let us know what you think of it by emailing your feedback to dbi.communications@sfgov.org. Thank you!
Next, as you know, DBI is transitioning to 100% electronic plan review (EPR) for In-House Review projects starting January 1, 2024. Here’s a link to some resource pages if you haven’t yet used EPR.
To help you with this transition, we will be hosting two online information sessions in December. Click the links below for more information or to join the meetings.
If you have additional questions or need further guidance on EPR, please email us at: dbi.epr@sfgov.org.
Last, DBI will be closed on Thursday, November 23 and Friday, November 24 in observation of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support.
