Demolition Permit Application
Demolition permits hinge on two things outside the demo itself: proof that utilities are disconnected and proof that the structure was surveyed for asbestos. Both belong on the application, not in a follow-up email.
Who uses it
Demolition contractors, general contractors, remodelers gutting interiors and restoration companies.
What the generated document includes
- Structure or portion being demolished
- Utility disconnect confirmations for power, gas, water and sewer
- Asbestos survey / NESHAP notification status
- Debris disposal site and hauling details
Mistakes that get it kicked back
- Starting interior demo before the asbestos survey is on file
- Listing only the electric disconnect when gas and water caps are also required
- Failing to name the disposal facility where the jurisdiction requires tipping receipts
