OPERATIONAL GUIDELINE
Based upon the need for uniformity in application across the Department’s diverse
service delivery areas, and after careful deliberation, the Department has determined
the following:
1. No construction permits shall be issued to a firm when it is currently subject to
a formal complaint with the applicable regulatory body which has been
prepared and submitted by the Department.
2. Once adjudication of the complaint has been completed and a formal
notification of results has been provided to the Department in writing, the fire
code official may resume issuance of construction permits.

limited to, review by a third party, State of California registered Fire Protection
Engineer, as prescribed by the California Fire Code official or other measures
deemed necessary.
