Inspections

The City of Menlo Park accepts inspection requests exclusively through its online system. All documentation required during the course of construction (such as surveyor letters, special inspection reports, and other supporting documents) must be submitted electronically through the City's Accela Citizen Access Portal (ACA) and comply with the required file specifications.

The City of Menlo Park Building Division recognizes that inspection availability may be limited during the busy construction and wet weather seasons. Next-day inspections are not guaranteed, so please allow sufficient time for scheduling and completion of required inspections.

• If an inspection is needed sooner than the scheduled inspection date, please call (650) 330-6767 between 7:30 and 9:00 a.m.
• After 9:00 am, please call (650) 330-6704.
