Demolition and Major Renovation
Before a demolition (the wrecking, dismantling, fire department training, or removal of any load supporting structural member that makes that portion of the structure unusable) can occur an approved demolition permit must be onsite.
An asbestos survey needs to be included with the demolition permit application. If there is no asbestos the demolition permit may be approved. If there is asbestos in the structure, it will need to be removed (with the proper permits) before the demolition permit can be approved. Additional permits from other agencies may be needed before a demolition or renovation can occur.
