As of September 1, 2025, the Building Code Enforcement Plan Review team has simplified the resubmittal process.
For responding to comments in general, the applicant is no longer required to provide a written narrative in the applicant response folder as long as an adequate response is provided for each comment in the applicant resubmit task.
Responses should:
- Summarizes the change made
- Specifies where it appears in the plans.
Acceptable response: “Door #3 corrected to 1-hour rating; see updated door schedule on sheet A2.”
FAQ: When is a response letter required in the applicant response folder?
- When approved stamped sheets are replaced with new versions after department or trade approval
- When major revisions are made between review cycles, such as a redesign or significant change to the project scope.
- When comment responses in the applicant resubmit task refers to a separate response sheet (e.g., “see response letter”).
If a narrative sheet is not provided in these cases, the project will be considered incomplete and returned during the pre-screen or resubmit review.
