Before any type of construction takes place, a contractor must have a permit. Once the permit is acquired, the contractor should take note as to whether or not the construction will disturb other residents. If the construction is, in fact, going to disturb other residents, the contractor is required by law to file a notice to owner form with all residence in which the construction will impact.
. The notice should be given at least 14 days in advance before the construction begins, warning residence that there will be excessive noise and debris around the area between specified times on specified days.These forms are fairly simple to acquire. A simple browser search may be completed, and several websites will return blank forms that can be altered for the specified use. These forms are available for download at http://www.coj.net/Departments/Planning+and+Development/Building+Inspection/Download+Forms.htm. Depending on the location in which the construction will be taking place, the individual must see the city hall and file all forms for approval before beginning the construction process.If a building that houses multiple people, such as an apartment complex or a boarding home, is planning on doing construction that will affect the residents, the landlord must temporarily relocate the residents. The relocation may be as simple as moving the residents into an empty room or apartment, or renting the leaseholders a hotel room for however long the construction will last. This is for the safety and consideration of the tenants.Once all construction has taken place, the contractor must undergo an inspection by a city worker to ensure that whatever was renovated is sound enough for people to live in, on, or around the space that was fixed. After the inspection has been passed, the tenants of the building may return back to their normal lives, if they were affected.
