Construction or work for which a permit is required shall be
subject to inspection by the building official and such construction
or work shall remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes
until approved. Approval as a result of an inspection shall not be

to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of this code
or of other ordinances of the jurisdiction shall not be valid. It
shall be the duty of the permittee to cause the work to remain accessible
and exposed for inspection purposes. Neither the building official
nor the jurisdiction shall be liable for expense entailed in the removal
or replacement of any equipment or materials required to facilitate
required inspections.
