Notice the signs
Observe
Describe the exact fixture, pipe, equipment, fuel, location, access, service interruption, and related electrical or structural work. Ask the Cohasset department which permit and inspection sequence applies before authorizing concealment.
Protect the room
Safety line
For gas odor inside, emergency safety comes first: leave rapidly and call 911 from outside. Permit discussion begins only after authorities clear the condition; it is never a substitute for emergency response.
Material note
Local boundary
Cohasset uses electronic permitting and publishes plumbing and gas fee information with rough and final inspection context. Fees and appointment details can change, so use the live office rather than a copied number.
Service flow
Written scope
The contract should name the permit applicant, licensed trade, fee allowance, drawings or product data, rough inspection, final inspection, correction responsibility, schedule effect, and which surfaces remain open until approval.
Close the loop
Verification
Collect the issued permit, inspection outcomes, approved changes, model and material records, photographs before closure, and final signoff. A paid invoice or functioning fixture does not replace a required inspection.
