Committee moves DBI code and fee changes to full Board with recommendation; fees budgeted in FY2009–10
The committee forwarded three ordinances from the Department of Building Inspection to standardize fee tables, extend permit expiration windows to one year, and codify a records‑retention and technology surcharge; estimated increased revenues for FY2009–10 total about $1.65 million and are included in the mayor’s proposed budget.
