Re: Construction Work Permit Requirements
Dear Mr. Freeman:
I was in your neighborhood this past Wednesday afternoon, November 25, 2015 and noticed that
that mechanical/gas work appears to have occurred to your residence and detached garage.
I'm writing to remind you that City of Oak Park Heights Ordinance has adopted the Minnesota State
Building Code (including plumbing) and by its reference the International Residential, Mechanical,
Fuel Gas and Fire Codes.
The adoption of these codes does require inspections to new construction and remodeling/alteration
projects (ie: siding, windows, additions, etc.). Residential contractors and Plumbers are required by
the State of Minnesota to have a State license to perform work within the State of Minnesota.
Mechanical contractor are required to be locally licensed and carry a MN State Mechanical Bond.
The last permit I have on file for this property was issued in 2009. I have not been contacted for a
work permit for any remodeling/alteration work to your home. Work without a permit and
subsequent inspection is a violation of City Ordinance and State Law.
Please contact me, to discuss what work has occurred, so that we can determine permit & inspection
needs. I have enclosed a mechanical permit application for your convenience.
I look forward to talking with you soon.
Sincerely,
Juli ultman, Building Official
