Dear Residents,

Introduction of the New Building Inspector & Updates on Inspection Procedures

We hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. We are pleased to announce a significant change in our community's building inspection process. Joe Last has been appointed as the new building inspector for our area. Joe brings a wealth of experience and dedication to the role, having served the City of Oconto with distinction. He will now also be available in the Peshtigo Office two days per week to address any concerns and ensure a smooth transition to our new inspection procedures.

Benefits of the New Inspection Process

• Improved Efficiency: Joe's expertise will reduce inspection times, allowing for quicker project approvals and less downtime.
• Increased Safety: Thorough inspections will identify potential issues early, preventing costly and dangerous problems.
• Enhanced Communication: Joe's availability in the Peshtigo Office will foster better communication and collaboration.

The New Inspection Process

During the transition to a new Building Inspector, the City of Peshtigo has officially adopted the current state standards for building codes. Additionally, to ensure a smooth transition for Joe, we have implemented the permit fees and forms used in Oconto.

• Pre-Inspection Consultations: Joe will be available for consultations before formal inspections to discuss plans and provide feedback.
• Detailed Inspection Reports: After each inspection, Joe will provide clear and comprehensive reports outlining findings and required actions.
• Follow-Up Inspections: Follow-up inspections will ensure that corrective actions have been taken and that projects meet all required standards.

We are confident that the new inspection process will bring about positive changes for our community. By embracing these improvements, we can look forward to a safer, more efficient, and more collaborative building environment.
