Where the State of Michigan has code enforcement authority, the bureau is responsible for the review of boiler, building, electrical, elevator, mechanical, and plumbing plans. Additionally, the bureau reviews all barrier free design exception requests and mobile home park (MHP) plans as well as issues MHP permits to construct. Premanufactured unit plans and manufacturer compliance assurance manuals are also reviewed by the bureau.
