I have this job for a apartment building. The property management company said when I'm dropping off the insurance certificate. Where's the permit paper work?

The 6 cameras wires are going thru a drop ceiling. Following a 100 other wires. I'm going thru one drywall wall for 2 cameras and going thru an exterior wall in one or 2 places for 3 more.

What would need to be inspected?

This job is in ct

This varies town to town.

Call the AHJ and ask.

If you are a professional, it is always safer to assume you need one than not. Permitting isn't just about the inspection. It is also about the fee and how towns know what is in/at a property so they know how much to tax it. Cost of doing business.

It also helps ensure that when the property is sold, changes such as you have made are on the record. Low voltage might not need to be inspected for low voltage issues, but if you penetrate a wall or a ceiling, that penetration might need to be treated to, for instance, make it resist the passage of fire or of hot gases during a fire for some period of time. That's not low voltage, but the low voltage person might innocently cause a problem.

You have to call the local jurisdiction and ask them if your installation needs a permit. Out here in Colorado it is different city to city. Some places you need a license and inspection, others you don't, they can literally be right across the street from each other. The license amounts to an application and a fee with a yearly renewal, nothing more than collecting money.

After reading message. Made me remember that "large" fee I heard a few months ago.

I was at my townhall and one of the people came in to receive a permit for the electrical use or whatever for the Ledyard Fair. The permit for this case, was definitely not for the money. The total cost for this permit fee? 23 cents... yup $0.23.

Here is one more thing.

The drop ceiling area is a doctors office and because of hipa rules I can't be there when there open. But if I can't go back there when there open when would the inspector go.

Connecticut is a giant pain when it comes to this stuff.

Bruce,
Try this: discuss this with the office manager and arrange for the office to open at, say, 10 AM for two or three days, while also contacting the inspector to explain the legal requirement that he and you ONLY be there when the office is closed... meaning before 10 AM on one of those days. When he commits, tell him thank you, and tell him you're going to tell the office they can go ahead and take appointments before ten on those other days.

I've found if you give somebody two or three days to choose from, they might commit to one but then show up on another one because, hey, you said that was a day when they might show up. You'll want to close off the days he doesn't choose.

Actually, most states, the tax appraiser isn't allowed inside the property unless the owner appeals the value. So what's in a home has very little to do with tax values.

This is an interesting problem. I've worked on several doctors offices that are part of the local hospital and it's always been during business hours. I would think this would be better than after hours because of supervision to make sure you didn't get into any files.
