UCC Construction/Buildings

  UNIFORM CONSTRUCTION CODE (UCC)

Building, electrical, plumbing and fire inspectors enforce the UCC (Uniform Construction Code) and are licensed by the State Department of Community Affairs.  They issue permits for all construction projects large or small and follow through with the required inspections and final approvals including Certificates of Occupancy (CO) and Continued Certificate of Occupancy (CCO).  Building Use Codes are designed to protect public health, safety and general welfare as they relate to the construction and occupancy of buildings and structures.
