BTW, NJ Directive issued today regarding all work related to damage from the Hurricane 'Irene', that ALL fees, both municipal and state are waived. Permits are required. Work may commence immediatley, with notification to the local construction dept. Permit documents must be submitted within 3 business days.
Inspections of 'Irene' related work shall be performed with priority, using a 'courtesy' basis for a permit number on inspection records. (Paperwork nightmare in the making)
Utility cut-in-cards will also be issued using 'courtesy' in lieu of permit number.
Not part of the above, but via email, State DCA is in need of Electrical Subcode Officials (AHJs) and Electrical Inspectors (NJ DCA Lic) to work any available time within the "Irene' damage area towns. Daytime, nights, weekends. (An oppertunity for those who were laid off recently??)
