Please note the following for the application and payment process for East Mckeesport Borough
Occupancy Permit:
Please find the Occupancy Application page HERE
An occupancy permit is required by all rental property and property owners when tenants, property ownership, or property use has changed. This application for an inspection is required, and an inspection fee is payable in advance of the property inspection. The application fee is determined by the municipality based upon the property and is configured in the payment process.
The application is sent upon submission then reviewed for completeness. When accepted, I will contact you to schedule the Occupancy Inspection. The inspection will result in an FIR (Field Inspection Report) and be sent to the applicant(s) and others as required of the referenced inspection. The FIR is not to be considered the CO Permit. It is the report of the inspection results.
If the inspection shows no violations, violations with the Act 90 requirements, and all related municipal codes, then the CO Permit will be issued to all parties concerned. Typically in 2-5 days.
In the event non-life safety violations are noted, a CO may be issued with violations. An NOV (Notice of Violation) may be sent for the violations found under the inspection process. Typically in 2-5 days.
Life Safety violations or Act 90 related violations will prevent a CO from being issued until all Life Safety violations and Act 90 related violations are corrected and, if required, re-inspected.
All communications are best via email.
