Additional Notes
Code Enforcement Officer is Aaron Wolfe (ext. 106, cell 585-297-3091), hours Mon-Fri 9am-4:30pm (summer Fri 9am-1:30pm). Department Clerk is Joelle Brown (ext. 105). A preliminary web search also surfaced the name 'Jason Raduns' in connection with zoning/code enforcement extension 106 at the same phone number, which conflicts with the town's own official page (which names Aaron Wolfe for that same extension) - included here only as a hedge in case of a recent staffing change; the official town page's info (Aaron Wolfe) is treated as authoritative. No email address or online permit portal found on the official page. Town Hall: 410 West Avenue, Medina, NY 14103.
What You Need Before Applying for a Permit
Most building departments ask for the same core package before they'll issue a permit: a completed application naming the property owner and contractor, the contractor's state license number and proof of insurance (general liability, and workers' comp if employees are on the job), a notice of commencement or equivalent recorded filing for larger jobs where the state requires one, and scaled plans or a site plan for anything beyond minor repairs. Roofing, fence, pool, and solar permits typically have their own simplified checklists — Town of Ridgeway's department (above) can confirm exactly what applies to your project.
Why this matters for insurance: permit history is one of the first things an underwriter or adjuster checks. Unpermitted work — a finished basement, an added bedroom, a rebuilt roof — can complicate a claim or even void coverage for that portion of the loss, and it routinely surfaces during a home inspection. Pulling the right permit up front, and keeping the closed-permit record on file, protects both the property's value and its insurability at resale.
