Currently, the boards are combined under the Building Inspection Advisory,  Examining and Appeals Board and the board members are appointed by the City Council.  The Building Inspection Advisory, Examining and Appeals Board is responsible for protecting the citizens of Dallas through the administration and interpretation of building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical codes.
