Restoration in San Bernardino
San Bernardino lets a contractor pull permits online only if it holds a state license and a city business license. At 201 North E Street, the Building & Safety permit counter keeps these hours: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 8 to 5, Wednesday 10 to 5 and Friday 8 to 4. Last sign-in is 4:30 Monday to Thursday and 2:30 on Friday. Water heater replacements and electrical panel upgrades usually go over the counter as minor work.
Larger projects can't be issued until plans and specifications are reviewed. Get the current fee from the counter before you sign a quote. Moderate, High and Very High fire hazard zones reach the city's edge on CAL FIRE's state map and on the local map it recommends, which the city adopts or modifies. For a smoke or fire claim, look up your lot on the city's adopted map, since a zone at the edge may not reach it.
The Municipal Water Department posts Consumer Confidence Reports, so start there if a broken line leaves you unsure about the tap. Zones A and AE on FEMA's flood map also meet the boundary, and the agency's Flood Map Service Center answers for a single address. CSLB lists no water damage, fire restoration or mold classification, so ask which classification the company's license does carry and whether it covers each trade in your repair.
