Zoning Permits, Building Permits, Property Maintenance & Code enforcement

BUILDING PERMITS & CODE ENFORCEMENT Avalon Borough currently employs Harshman CE Group LLC for all building issues (new, rehabilitation, roofing, decks, demo, retaining walls over 4 feet, pools, etc.), and all code enforcement issues (property maintenance). Harshman LLC offices are located at 2455 Park Ave, Washington, PA 15301 and their number is (724) 993-4505. Building Code Official Jarrod D'Amico and Code Technician Randy McCray are currently assigned to Avalon Borough.
Building permit regulations are based on International Building Code 2000 & 2006, the Avalon, Bellevue, Ben Avon Joint Zoning Ordinance currently in effect (April 2009), as well as any other ordinances pertaining to property maintenance that are currently on the books. Keep in mind that some projects require building plans and/or surveys to be included with your applications. *Not sure if you need a permit? Please call Avalon Borough or Harshman LLC before starting your project.*
ELECTRICAL INSPECTIONS Occasionally, your project may require an electrical inspection. Avalon Borough’s electrical inspector may be reached by calling Harshman CE Group LLC at 724-993-4505.
ZONING PERMITS
Any work being completed in Avalon Borough that changes the footprint of the building or adds an accessory structure to the property will require a Zoning Permit.
