Map data: US Census Bureau. ## What does a Creve Coeur demolition permit ask for? Creve Coeur’s demolition packet asks for more than a plan. It wants written utility disconnect notices, an asbestos abatement report or permit from St. Louis County, a Waste Disposal Authorization from the County, and a site plan. The form is marked “Revised 3/26/2025,” so confirm the current packet with the city’s Building Division. The packet applies to residential and commercial work. A check box on the form covers an entire structure. Others cover interior commercial and interior residential demolition. That matters in a city where much of the work happens inside existing offices and clinics, not on empty lots. Two County papers sit on the critical path. Order the asbestos survey early, because the County report cannot be written without it. ## Does interior demolition need a permit in Creve Coeur, Missouri? Yes, plan on one. The city form lists interior commercial and interior residential demolition as its own types and asks for 2 sets of plans showing the scope of work. The permit also sets a clock: work must finish within 30 days after the date of issue. A short clock rewards a tight sequence. Survey first, then abatement of anything found, then strip-out, then debris haul. If a tenant needs to stay in the next suite, AES says it tries to “contain hazardous materials to a defined construction area whenever possible” so that partial occupation can continue. Read more on our [interior demolition](https://www.aes-stl.com/interior-demolition) page and the [interior demolition](https://www.aes-stl.com/glossary/interior-demolition) glossary entry. For commercial building demolition, the packet also requires removal of parking lot surfaces, light poles and other site improvements unless the Chief Building Official approves otherwise. Raise that in the bid, since it adds scope outside the walls. ## Why do medical and office interiors need a survey first? Because the County will not clear the permit without one. Every structure to be demolished must be inspected for asbestos-containing material by a Missouri licensed asbestos inspector. The copy of the survey goes to the County with the demolition form, and a [NESHAP](https://www.aes-stl.com/glossary/neshap) form and commercial checklist may also be required. Creve Coeur names a strong concentration of medical offices, Mercy Hospital St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital among its anchors. Many suites get remodeled over time as practices change. We have no official building-age count for these spaces, and we cannot say what any one suite contains. So the rule is simple: survey the room before you open the wall. An [asbestos survey](https://www.aes-stl.com/glossary/asbestos-survey) samples suspect materials such as floor tile, mastic, ceiling texture and pipe wrap, then a lab reports what is in them. AES offers an [asbestos survey](https://www.aes-stl.com/asbestos-survey) and [commercial asbestos removal](https://www.aes-stl.com/commercial-asbestos-removal), and holds Missouri DNR asbestos contractor registration 27-06-0640. See also our [healthcare environmental services](https://www.aes-stl.com/healthcare-environmental-services) page. ## What do the Creve Coeur permit steps look like in order? Work in this order, because each step feeds the next. 1. **Survey.** A Missouri licensed asbestos inspector samples the space. 2. **Send the County its papers.** The survey and demolition form go to St. Louis County Air Pollution Control. The County also issues the Waste Disposal Authorization. 3. **Draw the scope.** Prepare 2 sets of plans for interior demolition. 4. **File the city form.** Add utility disconnect notices and a site plan, then pay the city fees listed on the form. 5. **Abate, then demolish.** Regulated material comes out first. The 30-day permit clock runs from the date of issue. Missouri DNR also sets a state notice. It requires notice of demolitions and abatement of regulated structures at least 10 working days before crews begin. Our [Missouri demolition and renovation asbestos rules](https://www.aes-stl.com/guides/missouri-demolition-and-renovation-asbestos-rules) guide explains how that clock and the County papers fit together. ## How old are the buildings in Creve Coeur, Missouri? Middle-aged. The 2024 American Community Survey counts 8,821 housing units in the city. About 27.7% were built before 1970 and 50.6% before 1980. The 1980 figure is a ceiling, because the 1970s group straddles 1978. Measure Creve Coeur Housing units counted 8,821 Built before 1970 27.7% Built before 1980 50.6% Distance from AES office About 16.2 miles, 24 minutes So about half of the homes fall into the era when asbestos products and lead paint were common. Homes are a second thread here. Read our guides to [asbestos in older St. Louis homes](https://www.aes-stl.com/guides/asbestos-in-older-st-louis-homes) and [lead paint in pre-1978 homes](https://www.aes-stl.com/guides/lead-paint-in-pre-1978-homes) if that is your case. Remember that [friable asbestos](https://www.aes-stl.com/glossary/friable-asbestos) and bound tile need different handling. ## Does St. Louis County inspect the job itself? Yes. County inspectors visit residential and commercial demolitions to make sure dust does not become airborne or travel beyond the property line. The County treats dust from demolition, including lead, as a public health concern. Put dust control, sealed work areas and clean exits into the plan. For county-wide rules, see [St. Louis County, MO](https://www.aes-stl.com/service-areas/st-louis-county-mo). If the building also needs floors after strip-out, see [epoxy floor coatings](https://www.aes-stl.com/epoxy-floor-coatings) and [concrete polishing](https://www.aes-stl.com/concrete-polishing). For a full tear-down, see [demolition](https://www.aes-stl.com/demolition). ## How far is AES from Creve Coeur?
