In this episode we speak with William "Buddy" Christopher, Commissioner of ISD Boston. For folks who don't know, the Inspectional Services Department encompasses the Building Department along with Health, Housing, and a number of other agencies. Buddy discusses ISD's philosophy and how to change one’s mindset from a "department of no" to, “is there a way we can make this work?” We dive into what's happening in the neighborhoods, including an area of Boston I had never heard of - Glover's Corner.  We also talk building code, zoning, podium construction, fire safety and more.
