Outdoor Business Permit Inspection Schedule

Attention OBMA Members with PROW Permits &/or Pedestrian Plaza Permits

Ocean Beach is scheduled for inspections beginning

Monday, Feb. 8th. thru Wednesday, Feb. 12th.

The Fire Marshall Chief, Doug Perry, has developed a schedule for inspections for business operations in the public right-of-way (PROW) (street or sidewalk).

Inspectors, who are Deputy Fire Marshals, will be walking door to door and prefer to speak with the business owner or manager who is knowledgeable about the outdoor operations, heating elements, and tenting installed in the ROW. If the owner or manager is not available for the initial visit, an inspector will return at a later, unknown date. Inspectors will work with business owners to allow for a reasonable amount of time to come into compliance (if a violation is observed). Some businesses will be required to obtain a no cost permit from the Fire-Rescue Department (link in PDF attached).

Please see anticipated schedule attached, note the day(s) when Deputy Fire Marshals will be in our area.
