Inspectional Services
The Inspectional Services Division enforces Glenview's building, health, fire, property maintenance, and zoning codes. It reviews, approves, inspects, and issues permits for all private property construction throughout the Village, and coordinates and performs inspections and follow up on violations and complaints.
The Development Center is the first point of customer contact for all Community Development-related services. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment by effectively and efficiently providing the highest level of customer service through increased access to staff, establishment of clear expectations, and simplifying development processes.
The Development Center staff will respond to walk-in, email, and phone inquiries related to planning, engineering, building permits, inspections, capital project improvements, and complaints. Customers will also be able to submit permit applications, have simple permits issued over-the-counter, obtain a small/medium sized permit through our same day review (SDR) process, submit large sized permits through the traditional plan review process, schedule building and engineering inspections, and/or receive technical and administrative assistance.

- Conducting regular inspections of restaurants, retail stores, bakeries, school cafeterias, hospitals, nursing homes, day care centers and temporary food services
- Investigating citizen complaints concerning said establishments as well as rodent and insect infestations, garbage storage, weeds, debris, and other health hazards
