Building permits merit closer look

Fairfax County

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors directed county staff to take a closer look at building permit requests from neighborhoods with a high number of complaints to the county's code enforcement strike team.

Supervisor Penny Gross (D-Mason), said certain construction permits for additions reflect “excess capacity” that could be an indicator of a future illegal boarding house.

“If they're not looking for these kinds of problems in a building permit review, we're going to have many more problems,” she said.

Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee) concurred, saying that he was recently alerted to an “egregious mistake” by county staff in relation to a building permit in his district.
