The mission of the Brookline Building Department is to provide the highest quality of
customer service while ensuring compliance with the State of Massachusetts Building,
Plumbing and Electrical codes and the Town of Brookline Zoning Bylaw.
The Building Department ensures public safety during construction, alteration, repairs,
and demolition of structures within the Town. The Department reviews and issues permits
for construction, repair, remodeling, and demolition, as well as certificates of
occupancy. Department staff enforces by-laws and regulations related to zoning, building,
plumbing, gas, electrical connections, fire safety, sprinklers, energy, demolition, and
lodging houses.
The Department performs inspections prior to issuance of licenses and annual inspections
of lodging houses, places of assembly, parking facilities, and common victualler locations
prior to their license renewal. The repair and maintenance of all town-owned buildings and
schools, as well as the daily management of the Town Hall, the Health Center, and the
Police Station, are the responsibility of the Building Department.
