The third and fourth floors of City Hall will go dark on Tuesdays and Thursdays and be closed to the visiting public. 

Starting this week, the third and fourth floors of City Hall will go dark on Tuesdays and Thursdays and be closed to the visiting public. Phone calls received during this time will still be answered.

The third-floor handles rental and pre-sale inspections and the fourth-floor processes permits and reviews plans. These floors will open again for service five days a week starting May 16.

Over this four-week span, City employees will be trained on new software to modernize and improve customer service. This new online portal will help streamline the process for permits, inspections, and applications – none of which can be currently done online. This new system will also allow for real time tracking.

Those who visit City Hall during the dark hours can drop off documents like permit, zoning and presale applications along with associated fee’s (checks only) in designated drop-off boxes located at the first-floor lobby desk. Plans, which must be reviewed by City staff, cannot be dropped off.

Questions for the third floor can directed to 610-437-7694. The fourth floor can be reached at 610-437-7592.

 

A partir de esta semana, los pisos en el tercer y cuarto nivel de la Alcaldía no estarán abiertos los martes y jueves y estarán cerrados al público visitante. Las llamadas telefónicas recibidas durante este tiempo aún serán respondidas.

El tercer piso maneja las inspecciones de alquiler y antes de vender y el cuarto piso procesa los permisos y revisa los planes. Estos pisos volverán a abrir para servicio cinco días a la semana a partir del 16 de mayo.

Durante estas cuatro semanas, los empleados de la ciudad recibirán capacitación sobre un nuevo sistema para modernizar y mejorar el servicio al cliente. Este nuevo portal en línea ayudará a acelerar el proceso de permisos, inspecciones y solicitudes, ninguno de los cuales se puede realizar actualmente por internet. Este nuevo sistema también permitirá el seguimiento en tiempo real.

Aquellos que visiten la Alcaldía durante las horas que este cerrado el tercer y cuarto piso pueden dejar documentos como solicitudes de permisos, zonificación y antes de vender junto con las tarifas asociadas (solo cheques) en los buzones de entrega designados ubicados en el escritorio del primer piso. Los planes, que deben ser revisados ??por el personal de la ciudad, no se pueden dejar en los buzones.

Las preguntas para el tercer piso pueden dirigirse al 610-437-7694. Se puede comunicar con el cuarto piso al 610-437-7592.
