Part of the city's Department of Public Works, the City Engineering office inspects, designs and surveys city construction projects. Various building and construction permits are available through this office and can be downloaded from the department's website. The office is located in the Newton City Hal, which is just over a mile from the Newton Centre MBTA stop (green line, d branch) and the Newtonville Commuter Rail station (purple line, Framingham/Worcester line). The #59 MBTA bus also stops nearby at the intersection of Chestnut Street and Commonwealth Ave.
