Commercial space and building code — Martha Potere / BSEED
Neighborhood Economic Development shepherds new commercial space. Permits, zoning, rehab, occupancy live at BSEED. Get Right shows the City page. We do not file.
Martha Potere’s seat is physical structure: bringing new commercial space online, shepherding the owner who is often also the developer — vision, financial model, closing. After closing, the City still requires permits, inspections, and occupancy.
That fileable stack is the Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department (BSEED). Development Resource Center: zoning, site plan, building and sign permits, preliminary plan review. Apply on the City BSEED page. Switchboard listed with BSEED: (313) 224-2733.
