Before entering a property, the City will ask several screening questions designed to determine whether anyone in the household has been or is currently ill; or if they have been recently exposed to someone who has tested positive to COVID-19. Inspections will be rescheduled if necessary.
Housing Inspectors will wear masks at all times when outside their vehicles. In addition, when entering a property, inspectors will wear protective shoe coverings and gloves. Upon returning to their vehicles, inspectors will dispose of their gloves and use hand sanitizer.
During the inspection process, the City will only allow one individual to accompany the inspector. A minimum distance of six feet must be maintained between this individual and the inspector at all times. We request that the individual wear a mask as well.
If you have specific concerns, please call us (216-491-1471) to discuss how the inspection can be further safely conducted.
