**The City is requiring all contractors to submit a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) for continued operations during the emergency declaration. In addition we ask that all permit applications being pulled MUST include the "Construction Site Safety Requirement" document signed and submitted along with all other supporting documents. For private building construction, the Inspectional Services Department is reviewing those plans and requiring additional measures as appropriate. For City contractors and utilities, the Infrastructure & Asset Management Department is restricting specific activities and has developed COVID-19 protection plans. For example, utilities will be allowed to work within the public roadway, but will not be allowed to complete service connections that require property entry until after the crisis is over. In addition to the plans mentioned, we have instituted a required regular call with all City contractors, utilities, and the Green Line Extension team to evaluate efforts.

We thank you for your patience and understanding at this time.

Forms and Documents

It is the responsibility of the Inspection Services Department to ensure that buildings in our municipality are safe and comply with Massachusetts regulations. This is accomplished through inspections performed on both residential and commercial properties, new and existing. Most of our inspections are created through the issuance of permits. A permit for either new construction or remodeling of a structure affords us the opportunity to inspect to assure all codes are being complied with, and the structure's integrity meets or exceeds all regulations.
