We recently worked at a new facility that we installed 2
elevators in the City of Chicago at a home improvement store and they had a
dock lift installed. The company who
installed the dock lift did not pull a permit, nor would they have known how to
pull a permit because they were from Wisconsin and may not get permits for their
installations. In the City of Chicago
the dock lifts are under the Elevator Departments jurisdiction. We will be working with the installation
company on getting them permits and completing the inspection with the City of
Chicago.
I wanted to put this up as a reference for everyone if they couldn't find it on the City of Chicago website.
It reminded me that some companies do not get permits for
work in the City of Chicago for items they should or apply for permits for work
that they do not need permits for. In
the suburbs the inspection firms require permits for some items that are not on
the City of Chicago’s list and do not require permits for some other items that
are on their list.
In the City of Chicago there will be some Fireman’s
Service requirements occurring shortly that as contractors need to be
conscience of getting permits for.
If there are any questions about if you should pull a
permit or not, ask, it is always better to have a permit than not have
one.
