At the discretion of the Code Enforcement Officer, a remote

when, in the opinion of the Code Enforcement Officer, this form of
inspection can accomplish the same level and quality as an in-person
inspection and it shows to the satisfaction of the Code Enforcement
Officer that the elements of the construction process conform with
the applicable requirements of the codes. Should a remote virtual
inspection not afford the Code Enforcement Officer sufficient information
to make a determination, an in-person inspection shall be performed.
After inspection, the work or a portion thereof shall be noted
as satisfactory as completed, or the owner or owner's agent shall
be notified as to the manner in which the work fails to comply with
the codes, including a citation to the specific code provision or
provision(s) that have not been met. Work not in compliance with any
applicable provision of the codes shall remain exposed until such
work shall have been brought into compliance with all applicable provisions
of the codes, reinspected, and found satisfactory as completed. Neither
the Code Enforcement Officer nor the Town shall be liable for expense
entailed in the removal or replacement of any material required to
allow an inspection.
