This dataset provides information about permits and their associated inspections, violations, and status information. The issuance of building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire, amusement, elevator, certificates of occupancy, and zoning permits starts in the Development Service Center (DSC) where they are entered into BasicGov, the City’s ePermitting system. The purpose of the Development Service Center (DSC) is to consolidate acquisition of permits to one central location within Norfolk City Hall for the convenience of customers. This adjustment was made to facilitate Norfolk’s initiative to become a more responsive customer-oriented organization.
