Norfolk County
Demolition in Brookline
Brookline is older, denser and more closely regulated than the rest of Norfolk County, with a demolition review process that applies to a significant share of the housing stock and can add months to a start date. The practical effect is that more work here is selective — additions, interiors and partial removals — than full teardown, and the schedule is set by the review rather than the machine.
Common in Norfolk County
Norfolk County is mostly what got built after the war and what is now being replaced. Quincy, Braintree and Weymouth carry commercial corridors turning over and residential lots where a modest house is coming down for something larger, and there is usually room for equipment in a way there is not inside the city. Brookline and Milton are the exception — older, denser, closer-set and far more likely to trigger a historical review before anything comes down.

Questions
Working in Brookline
Do you cover Brookline?
Yes. Brookline is inside Allied's regular service area in Norfolk County, along with Boston, Newton, Cambridge. The 24-hour line is (857) 266-3238.
How quickly can someone look at a property in Brookline?
Call the line and describe the job. Demolition is quoted after the site has been assessed, so the next step is arranging someone to look at it — photographs of the structure and of how a machine would reach it speed that up considerably.
Do I need a permit to demolish a structure in Brookline?
Almost always, and permits are handled as part of the job. What is needed early is the property address and the owner's details, since the application is built from those. Requirements are set by the Norfolk County authority or the municipality, depending on where the property sits.
