DEEP Headquarters Currently Closed

DEEP headquarters at 79 Elm Street in Hartford is currently closed due to recent water damage caused by two separate pipes that burst in the building on Monday, January 26, which are impacting multiple areas of the building.

Due to the ongoing remediation work, the building will likely remain closed to the public for the remainder of the week ending January 30, 2026. We will post updates on this page to indicate how the remediation is progressing and when the building will be able to re-open. The State Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is currently assessing the building with its contractors and will make determinations regarding building safety and timelines for reoccupancy.

In-person file reviews at the DEEP Records Center will not be available at this time. Additionally, staff have limited access to incoming mail, including hard-copy applications submitted to the Central Permit Processing Unit (CPPU). If you have a document that is time-sensitive or requires a wet signature, please reach out to the project manager, permit engineer or district supervisor for your site. We apologize for any inconvenience.
