Garage doors in Comstock Park
Comstock Park is a Census place of 10,306 people, so the building office that answers for it is a township's. Alpine Township, 5255 Alpine Ave NW, (616) 784-1262, has a Building & Property Maintenance department with an application on its site. The city's page is about trade permits; whether a garage door needs one, ask. Because Comstock Park is also partly in Plainfield Township, confirm which township covers your street.
The median home in Comstock Park is valued at $216,600, and 40.0 percent of homes there date from before 1980. Northview is 3.7 miles away and Walker 5.2. DASMA gives two measurements: photo eyes no higher than six inches above the floor and the wall button at least five feet up. DASMA says the button should be out of children's reach. Both appear on its final inspection checklist. LARA says contractors offering $600 or more in labor and materials must be licensed where the work needs one.
DASMA also says that in climates subject to extreme heat or cold and frequent precipitation, a door should be kept closed where possible, with lubrication as the manufacturer directs.

Permits for garage door work in Comstock Park

No state page we can cite says whether replacing a garage door or an opener needs one, so the question goes to the city's building department.
