Other inspections performed are: fireplaces, gas installations, new boilers and replacements, HVAC systems, tank removals and installations.
All required permits must be obtained at the Building Department Offices, 67 Main Street, Brewster, New York.

Commercial buildings are required to have two or more and are required to have yearly inspection.

IT'S THE LAW!
