1. I am buying a house; can I get someone to inspect it?

The City inspects houses that are being constructed, If you are buying from the builder, your builder should provide you with a Certificate of Occupancy. These are issued once the house has passed all inspections pertaining to current building code. 

If you are buying a home from a previous owner, we are unable to provide an inspection service. Instead, we recommend you contact a private home inspector.

2. Who do I contact about getting a sewer inspection?

For new construction, contact the Permitting and Inspections Department at 317-595-3120. For existing construction, contact the Department of Public Works at 317-595-3160.
