The
Building Commissioner, who is dedicated to the fulfillment of
the Village and departmental objectives and responsibilities,
heads the Building Department.
A staff of inspectors that are trained and experienced
in their professional fields support him.
In
order for every section in the Village to have a high standard
of construction or rehabilitation work, the Building Department
issues what is termed a building permit.
This
permit is a safeguard to the community that the work being done
is in conformance with zoning, health, fire, and safety standards
as authorized under the Village of Worth.
A
permit is necessary for the protection of the individual performing
the job, for the property owner, and for the Village.
A
safe, general guide to follow is that permits are required in
all cases of new construction.
With respect to existing buildings, permits are required
in instances where the proposed work involves structural changes,
light and ventilation, exits, size of rooms, fire-safety requirements,
sanitary facilities or any other work that may result in changes
to the heights, area, capacity, use or occupancy of a building.
