The Building Commissioner serves under the Public Service and Economic Development Director and is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Planning and Zoning, Building, Housing and Exterior Maintenance Codes with regard to construction, addition and repair of all City buildings and structures and the maintenance and occupancy thereof. The Building Department issues permits to perform work on buildings or structures, maintains housing records, register contractors working in our city, conducts inspections and issues occupancy permits for new structures, new businesses, relocation, or change of tenancy. Fairview Park's Building Department Inspectors are licensed State Residential Inspectors.

Building, rebuilding and expansions to private homes and businesses were at an excellent pace this past year with 1,494 permits being issued for various items.

A program promoted within our community is "HELP" (Housing Enhancement Loan) through the Cuyahoga County Treasurer’s office. This program allows homeowners to borrow money to repair or remodel their homes or rental property at interest rates 3% below the lowest rate a bank would normally offer. We participate in this program and a total of 260 property owners from our city have taken advantage of this cost savings program totaling $4,299,484.50. A review of the improvements undertaken by residents includes windows/doors, roofs, garages, decks and siding. We appreciate the investment that our homeowners are making in our community.
