Short wait, helpful staff, and a nice office with plenty of visitor parking. I'm just a homeowner…read morenot a contractor but had a great experience here. I didn't get my permit but that isn't to anyone's fault. I just wanted to do something that wasn't allowed. The Man 1 : Me 0. Oh well, haha! But I had a really nice experience with the staff here. It was easy to get a reservation to come in to speak with someone at the counter. However, when I arrived I noticed I probably didn't need one. There didn't seem to be much of a wait. The receptionist was nice and informative. The planning person I spoke with about my issue was also nice and professional. He educated me about my issue and a few other questions I had. He didn't seem bothered by any of it and was happy to answer anything I needed to know. He even spoke with his boss to confirm the conclusion. Anyway, overall great experience. Won't be afraid to come back at all for anything that I may need.

I have owned a rental single family house for a few decades and in Feb the water heater broke and…read morecaused extensive damage. My then property manager found me plumbers to restore but it took longer than expected. However, my tenants reported to the city which triggered a very long inspection process. The tenants raised new issues every time the inspector came though I remedied the major issues that cost me a fortune. For instance a couple months back the inspector required to mud and patch, mud and tape the drywall then today he raised a different issue to repaint it. He and my tenants kept adding new issues that I have started to suspect something abnormal has been going on. I will file a complaint against the city inspector. Of course, when my ill-mannered tenants asked me to join them to sue my previous manager and plumbers, I did not respond. I live in the Bay Area. I am starting to think there are more ridiculous people in Sacramento.

The Ramona Building is registered in the "National Registry of Historic Places" and is currently…read morebeing occupied by "The Church of Scientology of Sacramento. The buildings history dates back to the early 1900's when Sacramento' population started to boom due to the transcontinental railroad. It's name "Ramona" was chosen in honor the an Native American heroine found in a popular novel . George C. Sellon was commissioned to design this building to accommodate all the influx of visitors. Its design was "Spanish Colonial Rivival Architect" which reflected the rich Hispanic and Indigenous Native American heritage in the Sacramento Valley. It was once considered to be the most exquisite hotel in Sacramento. After being acquired by the "Church of Scientology", detailed studies were made of the buildings history so that no aspect of her history would be lost during it's renovation. Every detail of the building was restored to its original glory. One small piece of Sacramento's history ! Enjoy !

Having clean water to drink is something we all take for granted. Just turn on the faucet and"…read more WA-La" . But if you lived here in Sacramento prior to 1923, there were no water treatment plants ! The water we drank and bathed in came directly out of the Sacramento River. When the City of Sacramento was in its early development stage, the city was well known for its horrible water. This fact alone kept new immigrants and business from coming to Sacramento. In 1923 , Sacramento Historic Water Pumping Plant and Pumping Station was built. This was the first municipal filtration plant West of the Rockies. Sacramento residence were now able to get clean drinking water. Pumping Station 2 was still in use as late as 2011 providing clean water to the residence of Sacramento . During this time they were also giving tours of the plant in order to educate the public as to "how modern technology keeps the plant operating effectively as well as learn about its aging infrastructure and what repairs and upgrade that would be needed in the near future. I am glad these historic buildings still remain . It remind us how far we have come as a City and to appreciate everything our fore fathers have done for us ! A little history of Sacramento.
