Saint Paul GISThe Fire Certificate of Occupancy is a document issued by the City of Saint Paul's Department of Safety and Inspections, Fire Safety Inspection Division, indicating the existing structure complies with all state and local safety codes allowing its use as a commercial building or residential occupancy. The City of Saint Paul requires that all buildings, except for owner-occupied single family and duplex structures, are required to have and maintain a Fire Certificate of Occupancy issued by the Department of Safety and Inspections. The Fire Certificate of Occupancy shall be an indication that the building meets, at the time of inspection, all relevant codes to maintain the health, safety and welfare of the building's occupants and the general public. After each inspection, a property is assigned a letter grade that corresponds to the number of years before the next inspection is required. Different occupancies may need to be on a tighter schedule due to the perceived hazard level.
