Re: Construction Materials&Work Permit Requirements
Hi Mary:
I was in your neighborhood yesterday and noticed that you had construction material placed at the
curb. It looks like framing from a shower or perhaps a laundry area.
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 Code.
The adoption of these codes does require inspections to new construction and remodeling 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.
The last permit I have on file for this property was issued in 2008. I have not been contacted for a
work permit for any remodeling work to your home. Remodeling work without a permit and
subsequent inspection is a violation of City Ordinance and State Law.
Please give me a call or email me, to let me know what work is occurring so that we can discuss
permit needs, if any.
I look forward to talking with you.
Sincerely,
J li Hultman, Building Official
