The purpose of the Building Code is to establish the minimum requirements to safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare through structural strength, means of egress facilities, stability, sanitation, adequate light and ventilation, energy conservation, and safety to life and property from fire and other hazards attributed to the built environment, and to provide safety to fire fighters and emergency responders during emergency operations.  

If you are a licensed electrician and you are dealing with a property which has an emergency situation and Town Hall is not open, please email the Electrical Inspector directly. Denis Curran: dcurran@hamiltonma.gov
