From Ron Boose, Rochester Director of Building Safety 2007 Building Safety Week Theme Sponsored by the International Code Council Foundation, Building Safety Week is a special time set aside to increase the general public's awareness about the importance of making homes and buildings safe places where people can live, work, and play. The Rochester Building Safety Department invites you to stop in at our newly remodeled office space anytime during the week, take a tour, and have a cookie (while they last). The remodeling work is not quite completed but we’re well over ½ way there. Much of the work is being performed by Building Safety Department staff. We may be slow but we’re thorough and inexpensive. All work has passed inspection so far, and yes, we have a permit. | ||
