For permit holders and applicants to safely get back to their projects, the Deparments of Mobility and Infrastructure and Permits, Licenses and Inspections have some new rules:
For work in the public right-of-way (ROW):
- All permit holders who suspended work must submit adjusted dates prior to resuming construction by contacting DOMIpermits@pittsburghpa.gov with the permit number and anticipated restart date.
- Applications for new permits for construction in the right-of-way can be found online at https://pittsburghpa.gov/domi/right-of-way
- Right-of-way permits will join OneStopPGH on May 11. To assist in the transition to the new permit system, all permit applications received after May 6th OR with a planned start date later than May 24th will be processed in OneStopPGH. OneStopPGH will utilize the City Council-approved 2020 ROW Fee Schedule.
- Enforcement of “No Parking” signs is limited given the ongoing COVID-19 health emergency. Applicants utilizing authorized “No Parking” signs should review additional guidelines online during continued stay-at-home orders.
For permits for buildings and structures:
- PLI temporary COVID-19 procedures are published here: https://pittsburghpa.gov/pli/index.html; please check regularly for updates.
- These procedures include special job-site requirements for PLI inspector safety.
- Inspection requests will only be accepted through the OneStopPGH portal: https://onestoppgh.pittsburghpa.gov/.
- Permits will begin to be issued May 1, 2020. Given the current backlog, it may take several business days to issue all permits in the queue.
- PLI maintains full service at the OneStopPGH portal: https://onestoppgh.pittsburghpa.gov/.
