Housing Conservation District (Certificate of Inspection)

As a result of the passage of the Housing Conservation District legislation, inspections are required in Housing Conservation Districts:

  • When there is a sale of a residential building; or
  • When there is a change of tenant in a residential rental unit.

    About 2/3rds of the City of St Louis is in a Housing Conservation District.

    The Housing Conservation District inspection that is conducted is similar, but not identical to an occupancy permit inspection. A Certificate of Inspection is issued to the Owner/Tenant when the property is in compliance with the ordinance requirements.

    Inspection costs:

    1 housing unit -- unoccupied: $70
    2nd unit, same location, inspected same day: $25

    1 housing unit -- occupied: $110
    2nd unit, same location, inspected same day: $25

    Applications for a Certificate of Inspection must be made by mail, telephone or in person at the Building Division - Housing Conservation Section
