Permits for street space and dumpsters
Using part of a public way while repairing a building takes a permit from Everett's city services commission and a bond. The space has to be barricaded and lit at night, with a safe path kept for walkers. Dumpster and POD permits are filed in person at the Engineering Department in City Hall and signed off by the fire and police chiefs. [1][2]
Conservation Commission near the rivers
Everett's Conservation Commission reviews work in the buffer zones of the Mystic, Malden and Island End rivers under the state Wetlands Protection Act. Filing materials are due to the Conservation Agent two weeks before the monthly meeting. [1]

Dig Safe before digging. State law requires notice to Dig Safe at least 72 hours before digging, not counting weekends and legal holidays. That includes holes for deck footings. Call 811. source
