DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF THE CLASS
Review routine plans (exclusive of electrical), drawings, and specifications for compliance with applicable codes, laws, rules, and regulations and issue the necessary permits upon satisfactory compliance. This class differs from that of Plans Examiner II in that only residential and two-family housing is involved and does not involve the variety of life/safety codes to be applied by the Examiner II. The employee exercises some independent action in the decisions of what permit requests are to be reviewed by higher-level technical and administrative staff. The employee applies all relevant codes, ordinances, rules regulations, and laws to request permits of a routine nature to ensure plans are in compliance before issuing a permit. Work is received from the general public, homeowners & builders in the form of applications for permits with attached plans and drawings, review for compliance, and the issuance of an appropriate permit. Job performance is reviewed through the submission of reports, public complaints, and observation of work performed. There is no supervision exercised by this class. Does related work as required.
