Four core inspection types—and qualified coverage beyond them.

ASI and City inspections are scheduled separately.
Pasadena’s Building & Safety Division provides plan review and municipal construction inspection services. The City’s online Portal Center is used to schedule the City building inspection. ASI separately reviews the approved project documents and assigns the qualified special inspector required for the project scope and jurisdiction.
Pasadena Building & Safety DivisionPasadena special inspection questions
Is a special inspector the same as the Pasadena building inspector?
No. Pasadena Building & Safety provides municipal construction inspections. A qualified special inspector—sometimes called a deputy inspector—performs additional inspections required by the approved plans, Statement of Special Inspections or permit conditions. ASI does not replace required City inspections.
Does ASI provide every special inspection type in Pasadena?
ASI is a full-service special inspection company. In addition to its four core service groups, ASI assigns qualified special inspectors for other required inspection types based on the scope, required certifications or approvals, jurisdiction, location and availability.
Do epoxy dowels and post-installed anchors require special inspection?
Yes, when required by the approved plans, Statement of Special Inspections, permit conditions or product evaluation report. Schedule the special inspector before drilling or installation begins so required steps remain available for observation.
Does ASI schedule the Pasadena City inspection?
No. Pasadena’s municipal inspection is scheduled separately through the City’s online system. ASI schedules the project’s qualified special inspector. A project may require both.
What should I send ASI?
Send the Pasadena project address, permit number, approved plans, requested inspection type, date and start time, and the field contact’s name and mobile number. Include material-specific information such as concrete cubic yardage, welding procedures or the specified anchor product.
