Building Requirements

Show All Answers

1. Do I have to have an occupancy certificate to move into the city?

Yes.

2. Do I need to have an Occupancy Permit if I am a renter?

It doesn't matter. Any new tenant, whether renting or owning, is required to have an occupancy certificate.

3. How do I obtain an Occupancy Certificate?

The current owner or landlord is responsible for arranging a housing inspection. After the unit has passed the inspection, the new tenant or owner completes the application for occupancy certificate, (available at City Hall in the housing office) and pays a $45 charge. The application must be completed and payment must be made before the certificate is issued. If you are financing the home purchase, most lenders will require you to have the occupancy certificate prior to closing the loan.

more...

4. What does the inspection cost?

The inspection is done at no cost to the current owner who generally pays for the necessary repairs, if any. We will not issue an occupancy certificate unless the house passes the inspection.

5. For how long is the inspection valid?

Six months. If the unit has remained unoccupied during that period, we can extend the expiration of the inspection.

6. Can I use the occupancy inspection to satisfy the inspection referred to in my purchase offer?

It is not recommended you do this. The inspection done by a professional home inspector as a part of your purchase of a home is much more thorough than the city's inspection. We look primarily for life, health and safety issues. We do not look, for example, at the condition of the furnace or the anticipated future life of the roof system. The private inspector will give you a report on those types of things.

7. When are building permits required?

Building permits are required when:

You make a structural change in the building (e.g. you want to move a staircase).

You make a change to the light and/or ventilation (e.g. you want to make a window smaller or larger).

You want to change the ingress/egress of the unit (e.g. Close off a door to the outside).

8. What building codes are in force in Brentwood?

Residential: International Residential Code, 2003 Edition

Commercial: International Building Code, 2003

Electrical: National Electric Code, 2005 Edition

Plumbing: International Plumbing Code, 2003 Edition

Mechanical: International Mechanical Code, 2003 Edition

Fire: International Fire Code 2003

Maintenance: International Property Maintenance Code, 2003 Edition

Energy: International Energy Conservation Code, 2003 Edition as modified by the 2004 Supplement.

Zoning: Chapter 25 of the Brentwood City Code

9. When is an electrical permit required?

Anytime you change a circuit, add a receptacle, or delete a receptacle it is important to have the work inspected. In some cases, we will issue the homeowner a permit to do the work himself/herself. But, we will evaluate whether or not they know what they are doing, and whether they will be able to perform the work in a workmanlike manner. Otherwise, the electrician that you use will have to be licensed to do work in the city, and will be required to obtain a permit.

10. When is a plumbing permit required?

Under the same circumstances as an electrical permit. The same condition for a homeowner permit also applies.

11. When is a mechanical permit required?

A mechanical permit is required for a change in the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system of the unit. Changing a furnace requires a permit. Changing an air conditioner (other than a window unit) requires a permit. We do not have provisions for a homeowner permit in this field.

12. Is it necessary to have a building permit to replace a roof?

No. But you may only overlay an existing roof if there is only one layer material underneath it. This means there should never be more than two layers of shingles on your roof. If you already have two layers and need to re-roof a third time, you must remove the first two layers of shingles before applying the third. Also, if you have been having roof problems (excessive sagging or leaks) it is probably wise to have the work inspected by the city. If you want us to look at the roof, a permit is required to grant us the authority to inspect.

13. I want to change the roof sheathing (plywood) on my roof. Is a permit required?

Yes. The roof sheathing is considered part of the structure.

14. I want to replace a double window with a sliding door. Is it necessary to have a permit for this?

Yes. This is considered a change in the ingress/egress of the unit.

15. I want to add a bedroom in the basement. Is a permit necessary?

Yes, because bedrooms have a requirement for emergency access. Firemen have to be able to get into the bedroom from the outside. Therefore, the window must be a certain size. The only way for us to verify it is through the permit process.

16. I want to replace my kitchen sink with a new one. Is a permit required?

If the sink goes exactly where the old one was (even if it is bigger or smaller) and no extension of the drain system is required, it is considered maintenance and does not require a permit.

17. I want to replace my kitchen cabinets. Does this require a permit?

If you are taking old cabinets out and putting new cabinets in, and are not tampering with plumbing or electric fixtures, then no permit is required. If you are moving or adding electric fixtures or plumbing, a permit is required.

18. Where is Ground Fault Circuit Interruption protection required?

If the outlet is located in the kitchen, outside, in a garage, or in an unfinished basement, GFCI protection is required. The only exception to this is if an outlet is not readily accessible (such as being located in a cabinet for a microwave), or it services just one appliance, such as a refrigerator, and the receptacle is "hidden" behind the appliance. In these cases, the receptacles do not have to be GFCI protected. If the receptacle services a washing machine located next to a slop sink in the basement or laundry area, and has an open receptacle, then the circuit must be GFCI protected.

19. I want to put drain tile in the inside of the basement. Do I need a permit?

Generally not, unless the system drains into a sump with a pump. Because of the electrical pump connection, an electrical permit is required for this.

20. I want to put up a new fence. Is a permit required?

Yes. See the regulations and application available at the housing office in City Hall.

21. I want to replace my 42" high chain link fence with a new 42" high chain link fence in exactly the same location. Is a permit required?

A permit is not required if you have the original fence permit. If you did not have a permit to put up the original fence, a new permit is required.

22. I want to replace my exiting 42" chain link fence with a 5' stockade fence. Is a permit required?

Yes. And, the "good side" of the stockade fence must face outward towards the public or the adjoining property owners.

23. Is a permit required to replace a brick or concrete patio?

A permit is generally not required. But, if the patio is higher than 3' above the neighboring property and the patio is located in the yard setback area, then approval from the Board of Aldermen is required. If the patio does not meet those criteria, a permit is not required. The Board approval is required to make sure the new patio does not impose upon the neighbors' enjoyment of their property.

24. What is needed for a building permit?

Complete the application form available at the building department and submit it along with three sets of plans (four sets if a commercial or industrial improvement) that have an architect's seal. When it is ready for pickup after review, you will be called and informed of the cost. You may pick the permit up during regular business hours after paying the permit fee. Minor construction activity, such as a yard shed, do not require drawings with an architect's seal.

25. My job is so small that it does not make sense for me to hire an architect and spend $500 in professional fees for a porch that would cost me only $250 in material. Is there some relief for this kind

Call the building department to speak with the plan reviewer. We can usually use a little common sense and work with you on your project.

26. How long does it take to get a building permit?

It depends on how many applications have been filed ahead of yours. Normally, just a few days. If you happen to apply for a permit just after a major redevelopment project that has applied for permits for four buildings, then it might take as long as 3 weeks.

27. Do I need any permits from St. Louis County?

Not for building, electrical, mechanical or plumbing jobs. For demolition, the County has a separate permit requirement. St Louis County is under contract with the City to do certain code enforcement including such work as elevators and commercial kitchens.

Learn To Skate

Show All Answers

1. What time should I arrive for the first class?

Please arrive 20 to 30 minutes early the first week of classes to ensure that your child receives a nametag, finds skates that fit properly, and is directed to the proper class/instructor. Please know in which class your child is enrolled. This helps reduce confusion and helps things run smoothly.

2. Are skates included in the price?

Rental skates are provided with the skating lesson. Should you or your child receive a pair of skates that are too tight, too loose or have dull blades, please return them to the skate window for a different pair.

3. What should my child wear?

Please be sure your child is wearing gloves and helmet (for lower levels) while on the ice. Your child should be dressed warmly, but not be restricted.

4. Do I skate with my child?

We ask that all parents/guardians sit on the bleacher side of the rink or in the rink lobby after dropping their child off at the north end doors of the ice rink for his/her class. Thank you for your adherence to this policy. We want to maintain the best possible setting for your child’s maximum success!

Please Note: There should be a responsible adult present in the ice arena at all times while students are taking lessons or practicing. Please arrange to have an adult responsible for your child if you are not currently staying during these times. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

5. Are the skates the correct size?

It is not necessarily true that you should wear skates a half size or a whole size smaller or larger than your street shoe size. A snug fit without pinching is best.

6. Are the skates laced properly?

If you lace the skates too tightly you could not only cut off blood circulation, but also hinder movement of your lower leg and foot which, in turn, impedes forward and backward glides and turns. Conversely, if you lace the skates too loosely, your foot will not be properly supported causing imbalance. Skates need to be laced so they are not too tight on the foot, they are tight in the bend of the ankles, and they are looser above the ankles—you should be able to insert two fingers between the tongue and leg. Do not wrap laces around the ankles.

Also, please no heavy socks. We suggest that your child wear dress socks or tights.

7. Are the edges of the blades sharp?

Every attempt is made to keep our rental skates sharp and in good condition. If you should receive a pair of skates with dull blades, simply return the pair to the skate window for a sharper pair.

8. Are the boots made of a good leather quality with supports?

A good test to determine support is to turn the skates upside down on a flat surface. The boots should stand by themselves without crumpling. For safety reasons, we ask that you do not use plastic skates or skates with a double runner.

Planning and Development - Zoning

Show All Answers

1. Can I build a two-car garage on my property?

It depends on how much room you have in your yard. But in general, garages are a permitted accessory use. A two-car garage is included in the description of a garage. Yet an oversized garage that you convert to a woodwork shop for your hobby and which is not used for the storage of vehicles, is not a permitted accessory structure. It is also not legal to provide living space in that accessory structure.

2. How far off the property line must I be if I want to build something?

It depends on the zoning district in which your house is located. In the "A" Residential District you must be at least eight (8) feet from the side property line – more if you live on a corner lot. In the "B" Residential District the distance changes to five (5) feet. Again, more if it is a corner lot. For house additions, or for anything else that attaches to the house, the rear building setback line is: “A” district, 20% of the lot depth with a minimum of 25’ but not more than 40’ (unless you want to exceed 40’). For the “B” district, the rear setback is 20% of the lot depth but not less than 20’. If this is for a yard shed or detached garage, the minimum rear setback for the “A” district is 8’ and for the “B” district, 5’.

3. Can I put a yard shed in the back yard and is a permit required?

A small yard shed may be placed in the back yard of a residential lot. However, there must be a house on that property and the shed must be at least the side yard setback distance off all of the property lines. In addition, the size of such a structure is limited to 144 square feet in area and 14' in height.

4. My neighbor is building a sundeck and doesn't have a permit. Can he do that?

Not legally. A building permit is required for any new construction in the City.

5. I live on property that abuts commercial ground. Can you make the business put up a fence?

Although our law requires a fence between commercial and residential property, if the commercial business was there prior to the enactment of the law, we cannot make them erect a fence until there is a change in ownership or occupancy of the property. When the requirement for a fence was added to the zoning chapter, the governing body did not mandate fences be erected by any certain date. Hence, the business may continue to operate under what is known as a "grandfather clause."

6. How can I find out when the Board is considering zoning issues?

Not all zoning issues are required to have a public hearing. The best way to find out what is going on is by looking at a copy of either the Planning and Zoning Commission agenda, or the Board of Aldermen agenda. Prior to being acted upon by the Board, all zoning issues go to the Planning & Zoning Commission for their recommendation. The P&Z meet on the second Wednesday of the month. In the event that there is no business pending, the meeting is cancelled. The Board of Aldermen then votes on the matter after P&Z has forwarded their recommendation on the issue. These meetings are held on the third Monday of the month.

Some zoning issues such as a conditional use permit or rezoning require the Board to have a public hearing on the issue under consideration. Public hearings are advertised in the St Louis Countian (a legal newspaper) at least 15 days in advance of the hearing date, and in the Sunday St Louis Post-Dispatch usually at least 1-1/2 weeks in advance of the hearing date. In addition, public hearing notices are placed on public notice boards around the City (18 in all) including on the property in question. Last, a notification of the hearing is sent to any person who owns or lives in property living within 185' of the site of a zoning change or use permit.

Your location, if different from location of occurrence?
The time of occurrence?
Are there any injuries?
Is anyone intoxicated?

3. Will police respond if I lock my keys in the car?

Unless there is immediate danger to public safety (a child is locked inside), you will be asked to contact a towing company or locksmith. Brentwood officers will respond if an animal is locked in a car that is not ventilated and could constitute animal cruelty.

4. What should I do if a police officer stops me while I’m driving?

You should decrease your speed and use your signal to indicate which way you intend to pull over (always pull to the right if at all possible). You should try to pull out of the way of traffic and leave enough room so that the police vehicle behind you is also able to get out of traffic. If you are pulled over at night, try to pull over in a well lit area. Turn on your dome light and keep your hands on the steering wheel. Do not begin to search for your drivers license before being told to do so and do not exit your vehicle unless asked by the officer. Stay calm and provide the information requested by the officer. Answer questions without embellishment or storytelling. Please do not reach under the seat, in the glove box, etc., without telling the officer what you are doing. Remember, the officer does not know who you are or what your intentions are.

5. Where do I go to pay a traffic citation or a parking ticket?

Payment is made at the Court Clerk Office, located at Bretwood City Hall, 2348 South Brentwood Blvd. You can contact the Court Clerk at 314-963-8623.

6. What should I do if involved in a traffic crash?

When you are involved in a traffic crash you should stop and remain at the scene. If possible you should move your vehicle off the roadway. Call the police at 644-7100 or dial 911 if there are injuries. Wait for the police to arrive. Do not get into an argument with other drivers involved.

7. What should I do if I witness the crash?

If you witness a crash, if possible, stop on the side of the road and stay until the police arrive. If you are not able to remain, you should call police at 644-7100 or 911 if there are injuries, and advise that you have witnessed the crash. The Communications Officer will forward your name and contact information to the investigating officer.

8. I observe a reckless driver. Can I report him?

We encourage you to report DWI and reckless drivers. To aid us in locating the violator we will need as much information as possible such as a description of the vehicle (and driver, if possible), a license plate number, direction of travel, and time lapse. If you are calling on a cell phone while following this errant driver, try to stay on the line. This will allow dispatchers to update responding units to the violator’s location and directions of travel. Never compromise your own safety or violate the laws and rules of driving that apply to you as well as everyone else on the road.

9. What should I do if I witness criminal activity or I am a victim of a crime in Brentwood?

First, make sure you are safe, and then contact the police. If possible, make written notes of what you have seen, including descriptions, times, and locations, while your memory is still fresh. If the situation is an emergency, call 911. If it is not an emergency, call Brentwood Police at 644-7100. Follow the directions and answer the questions being asked by the police or communications officer. Remain calm. It may be necessary for the police officer to speak with you directly; be prepared to meet the officer or provide a contact number.

10. What can I do to crime-proof my home or business?

It is impossible to completely “crime-proof” your home or business; however, it is possible to take steps that can make your property less vulnerable to burglary, such as using the proper locks, doors, and windows, alarms, etc. You can contact the Brentwood Police Dept. for information on home and business security or to request a security check at 644-7100.

11. Who is the Brentwood Police Chief and how many officers does Brentwood have?

Our Chief of Police is Steve Disbennett. He has been Chief since April 2009. We currently staff 25 officers and Seven full- time and several part-time dispatchers.

12. What is the difference between a police officer and a detective?

A detective is a plain-clothes police officer responsible for the follow-up investigation of crimes and incidents. A uniformed patrol officer responds to and handles the initial investigation of calls for police service. The detective continues the investigation started by the patrol officer but may also initiate specialized investigations directly assigned to the detective rank.

13. What is the Communications Center and what is its function?

The Communications Center is responsible for answering both emergency and non-emergency calls and dispatching police officers to those calls. They also take all calls for fire and EMS service, dispatching the fire truck and ambulance when needed. Our Communications Officers work 12 hour shifts. The police officers work 8 hour shifts.

14. How does 911 work?

A 911 call made in Brentwood is received at the Brentwood Police Department Communications Center. The Communications Officer ascertains if the caller needs police, fire, ambulance, or all of the above. If so, then the appropriate units are dispatched. When you call 911, the address and phone number of the phone you are calling from is displayed on a screen in the Communications Center.

15. When should I call 911?

Dial 911 in any emergency when police, fire, or ambulance is needed. Some examples would be:

1. My sidewalk is raising and sinking and needs to be replaced. Who takes care of that?

Contact Jim Nahmensen, Street Superintendent, at 963-8643. He will investigate the problem, place it in priority when viewed with other similar work assignments, and get the walk repaired or replaced as rapidly as time and money permit.

2. The storm knocked several branches off the tree in my yard. Will you pick them up?

Yes. Drag the branches to the street in front of your house. Try not to block traffic lanes. Notify the street department at 963-8642 and they will dispose of the tree limbs.

3. I want the tree in my front yard taken down. Will you do this?

Unless it is a City tree, which are trees located between the sidewalk and the street, the City cannot remove or maintain trees. That is the responsibility of the homeowner.

4. I have water backing up in the drain in the basement. What should I do?

The City has a 24-hour a day, 365 day a year sewer hotline service. This service is funded by an annual assessment of $28 billed as one of the charges on your real estate tax bill. The phone number to report a problem is 962-6234. Call at any time. They will take your name, phone number, address and a brief description of the problem, and will contact the emergency sewer opening firm. It is this firm's job to determine if the problem is inside or outside the house. If the problem is inside the house, you may choose to repair the blockage your self and will not be billed for the service call. You may also contract with the firm that has made the service call, but that service is at your own expense.

If the problem lies outside of the house, between the house and the sewer main, a service man will open the line temporarily, and advise the City of the blockage. The City will then TV the line to verify the location of the blockage, and will either cable the line with a heavy duty cabling system, or excavate and replace the damaged or blocked pipe section. We will not excavate until we have the underground utility lines located. This normally takes 2 or 3 days. In most cases, you will have use of the sewer line during this wait. The repair is done at no charge to you. The City is not responsible for replacing any landscaping disturbed during the repair process. We will fill the excavation with compacted topsoil and sow grass seed. We will return in a few months if the dirt has settled, and you call to report the settling. This call should be made to Jim Nahmensen at 963-8643. If the blockage is determined to be in the sewer main (operated by MSD), they will be notified and will clear the pipe of any blockage, again at no charge to you.

5. I keep getting a hole in my yard but have never had sewage back up into the basement. Is this a problem?

Yes. This is a sign your sewer lateral, or yard vent/clean out might have a leak. It is covered under the sewer lateral program and will be repaired at no cost to you if the problem is with your sewer lateral pipe system. We have an easy way to check this whereby we pour dye into the hole and see if it shows up in the sewer system. If so, we know there is a leak and will repair it. In the event there are homes that have sewage backing up into the house, they will be repaired first, as the hole in the yard is not creating a hazardous situation. In the event the sewer lateral system is not the problem, the City will not do any further investigation. We do encourage you to find out what is causing the sinking but can not participate in the solution.

6. I am replacing my roof and need to store a dumpster at my property to take care of the roofing materials I am removing. Is a permit required for that dumpster?

The dumpster may be placed on your property without a permit. Generally, we expect this work to be accomplished within a few days and have established a maximum of 7 days for having a dumpster on residential property.

In the event that you cannot fit the dumpster onto your property and need to store it in the street, we will permit the dumpster to be placed in the street for a period of three days, provided it does not violate any parking restrictions or hide any signs. The dumpster must have reflectors on it to maximize visibility to motorists, and it may not block the sidewalk. It must be positioned so it does not block access to a fire hydrant and will not cause a problem for your neighbors' use of their driveways.

7. Is it necessary to have a permit to replace my driveway?

Not unless you are changing the size or manner of which your driveway joins with the street. If you wish to widen the driveway, apron it, or relocate it, you must have a street excavation permit. The Street Department will inspect the work to make sure it conforms to regulations. The same applies to the sidewalk that crosses your driveway. If a sidewalk is to be replaced as a part of your driveway project, it also must be inspected.

8. What kind of driveway may I put in?

The driveway may be either asphalt or concrete. It is not necessary to have this work inspected by the City. The driveway may not be installed as rock. Only rock driveways in existence prior to the adoption of the codes are authorized to remain rock. If an existing rock driveway is to be replaced, it must be replaced with a hard surface material such as asphalt or concrete.
