The primary responsibility of the Building Department, also known as the Division of Inspections, is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of New Jersey’s citizens. To accomplish this, the Construction Official and Subcode Officials review construction permit applications to ensure that building plans and specifications conform to the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (NJUCC). Inspectors perform field inspections for construction projects to ensure that the construction is in accordance with the NJUCC.

The Division of Inspections issues permits to construct, enlarge, alter, renovate, remove or repair a structure.

If you are requesting general information regarding; what is needed to submit an application, status of an existing permit application, results of an inspection, or the status of a request for a Certificate, please contact this office by leaving a voice message at (732) 262-4604 or by email at Permitstatus@twp.brick.nj.us. Provide as much detail as you can on the nature of your inquiry to facilitate a quick response.
