INSPECTIONS AND PIAMKING
During February, 1995, the PKS
Building Inspections Department
issued 3 new residential permits
for a value of $453,000 and 12
miscellaneous permits for a value
of $203,975. Four CAMA permits and
12 CAMA exemptions issued. The Town
of PKS will join other state and
local governments in observing 1995
Building Safety Week on April 9-15.
Observation of Building Safety Week
is publicized annually in an effort
to ensure construction of safe,
sound buildings. The importance of
construction codes and their
regulation and enforcement is often
overlooked, until some catastrophic
fire or other construction-related
tragedy occurs and receives atten
tion, shocking peoples' conscious
ness. Steps are being taken by the
PKS Building Inspections Department
to ensure the buildings in our com
munity are safe, accessible places
to work, play and live.
The PKS Building Inspections
Dept, enforces safety regulations
by reviewing building plans, issu
ing permits and inspecting build
ings during the various stages of
construction. Proper enforcement of
building, mechanical, fire preven
tion, mechanical, plumbing, elec
trical and property maintenance
codes leads to the safety of our
changing and expanding built en
vironment. Code officials who pro
vide this service remain largely
unheralded. Their success lies in
the disasters that don't happen -
the buildings that don't collapse
from excessive wind, the children
who don't fall through guardrails,
and the electrocutions that don't
occur.
If you have questions or con-
concerns about building safety,
contact the PKS Building Dept, at
247-4353 or visit the office at
Town Hall.
