7 <br />ACTION-7 INACTIVE BUILDING PERMIT FILES <br />BR_iEF_.DESCRIPTION /PURPOSE <br />An inactive building permit file is one which has not received a final inspection or the permit <br />has expired. There are approximately 500 inactive files, some dating back to 1983. The <br />Inspections Division proposes a program of courtesy inspections to determine the status of such <br />permits. Where new permits are needed, citizens will be so informed. If none are required, a <br />Certificate of Occupancy will be issued. The goal of this program is to insure the safety of <br />Orange County citizens as related to building construction. <br />STATUS <br />Inspections have separated out all "inactive" files and a letter has been drafted to send out to <br />those who appear to be out of compliance. Letters will be sent out upon BOCC approval. <br />ATTACHME <br />Attachment # 5 - Letter to citizens regarding inactive building permit file. <br />ACTION g IDAC SEMINARS <br />BRIEF DESCRIPTION/ PURPOSE <br />The Inspections Division Advisory Committee (IDAC) is sponsoring several seminars for all <br />construction trades (Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical).
