Inspections are required for all permitted work in the City of San Leandro. The purpose of an inspection is to ensure that the work meets the construction and installation requirements of all applicable codes. Inspections are scheduled online by the contractor or the homeowner. The website can be found on the Building and Safety Division homepage called "Online Permits By Accela."
If you are having trouble registering for an inspection, please contact Kathy Switzer, at 510-577-3405 and she will assist you. It is very important when searching for your permit that you only put your permit number in the record information field.
