The Office of Building Permits and Inspections administers and enforces the City of Allentown’s building, plumbing and electrical codes, which apply to construction, alterations, use, location, occupancy or maintenance of all buildings, structures, and service equipment. The office reviews plans, issues permits and inspects the work. The City of Allentown has developed a one-stop shop for information for developers and property owners looking for information about the development process and construction regulations. Depending on your project you may need to coordinate with several City Departments and Bureaus.
