Required Information:
Address of future residence, including apartment number if
applicable.
Name of each occupant.
Birth Date of each occupant.
Relationship of each occupant to Applicant.
SSN of Applicant and each occupant.
Copy of Driver's License for all occupants 16 years of age and
older.
Name, address and telephone number of the present owner, manager
or landlord of property.
When purchasing property, the name, address and telephone number
of the real estate agent.
Applicant's signature, current address and telephone number.
Step 2: Inspection Fee
A forty dollar ($40.00) inspection fee is paid at
the time of application. This fee covers the initial inspection
and one (1) re-inspection. If additional inspections are required,
there will be an additional charge of forty dollar ($40.00) per
inspection.
Step 3: Inspection
The present owner, manager or agent must
call the Public Works Department at (314) 428-4677 to schedule an
appointment for the Occupancy Inspection. If the applicant has a key
and can meet the inspector at the appointed time, the applicant may
schedule the appointment. No appointment will be scheduled until a
permit has been applied for and the forty dollar ($40.00)
inspection fee paid.
Step 4: Permit Issued
After the property has passed inspection(s) with
all violations, if any, corrected, the applicant can obtain the
final Occupancy Permit from the Public Works Department. The permit
fee of forty dollars ($40.00) is paid at that time.
General Information:
All utilities must be on at the time of the inspection.
If the property does not pass the initial inspection, a letter
listing the violations is sent to the owner/manager/agent and to
the Applicant.
When all violations have been corrected, a re-inspection must be
scheduled.
The Applicant and/or new occupants must not move into the
premises until the final Occupancy Permit has been issued.
If an individual moves in or out of the residence, the applicant
is required to complete an Amendment to the original
occupancy permit.
Amendment to Residential Occupancy Permit
The following situations require an Amendment to
the original Occupancy Permit:
-
An individual moves in that was not listed on the original
Occupancy Permit.
-
An individual on the original Occupancy Permit moves out.
-
The birth or adoption of any children.
-
The death of an occupant.
Procedure for Amending an Occupancy Permit
A copy
of the application may be downloaded here!
If you are the owner of the property, as the principal occupant
on the permit, you must come in and fill out an
"Amendment" form, listing new occupant(s), date of birth,
Social Security Number and when applicable provide a copy of their
Drivers License. The principal occupant is responsible for amending
the Occupancy Permit when some moves in or out of the residence.
If you are a renter, you are still responsible
for updating your permit. If you are amending the permit by adding
an occupant, the owner/manager of the property must provide written
permission for the addition(s).
In some cases, it may be necessary to schedule an
appointment for the inspector to measure the rooms in order to
verify there is sufficient habitable space for the number of
occupants.
There is NO CHARGE for an Amendment to an
Occupancy Permit
