Whitefish Bay's permit list is clear about foundation repair, and just as clear about who answers for it.
Whitefish Bay permit notes
Whitefish Bay's permit table says foundation repair, beams and wall straightening included, needs a building permit, and electrical or plumbing permits may be needed too [1]. The village puts the duty to get permits on the property owner or their delegated agent [1].
Is a permit required for foundation repair in Whitefish Bay?
Yes. Building Services at 414-962-6690 handles the permit [1].
What if the work starts without a permit?
Permits have to be issued before a project begins, and the village says failing to get them results in four times the permit fee [1].
