Construction or work for which a permit is required shall be subject to inspection by the building official and the construction or work shall remain accessible and exposed for inspection until approved by the building official.

Note: The special inspector shall not receive compensation from the contractor of record.
B. 
Approval, as a result of an inspection, shall not be construed as an approval of a violation of the provisions of this code or other ordinances of the Municipality. Inspections presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of this code or other ordinances shall not be valid.
C. 
It shall be the duty of the permit applicant to cause the work to remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes. Neither the building official nor the Municipality shall be liable for expense entailed in the removal or replacement of any material required to allow inspection.

(AO No. 2020-85, § 1, 10-27-2020)
A. 
It shall be the duty of the person doing the work authorized by the permit to notify the building official such work is ready for inspection. The building official may require every request for inspection be filed at least one working day before such inspection is desired. Such request may be via Building Safety online services, in writing or by telephone.
B. 
It shall be the duty of the person requesting any inspections required either by this code, or the technical codes, to provide safe access to and means for inspection of the work.
(AO No. 2020-85, § 1, 10-27-2020)
A. 
Work shall not be done beyond the point indicated in each successive inspection without first obtaining the approval of the building official. The building official, upon notification, shall make the requested inspections and shall either indicate the portion of the construction is satisfactory as completed or shall notify the permit holder or an agent of the permit holder wherein the same fails to comply with this code. Any portions not in compliance shall be corrected and such portion shall not be covered or concealed until authorized by the building official.
B. 
There shall be a final inspection and approval for each relevant discipline associated with the permitted building or structure before the building or structure shall be declared completed and ready for occupancy and use.
C. 
Retrofit permits are completed and closed when the inspector issues an approved final inspection report. A Certificate of Completion is not required but can be provided upon request.
(AO No. 2020-85, § 1, 10-27-2020)
The building official shall publish and keep current an "Inspection Schedule" for required inspections for various types of construction. This schedule shall be available on the department website and by hard copy at the Development Services public counter.
(AO No. 2020-85, § 1, 10-27-2020)
In addition to the inspections specified above, the building official may make or require other inspections of construction work to ascertain compliance with the provisions of this code or technical codes and other laws enforced by the code enforcement agency.
(AO No. 2020-85, § 1, 10-27-2020)
A. 
A re-inspection fee may be assessed for each inspection when such portion of work for which the inspection is requested is not complete. Fees shall be in accordance with Table 3-C of this code, including re-inspection fees for subsequent inspections of the same code issue noted in a prior inspection report. This section is not to be interpreted as requiring re-inspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of the technical codes, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or re-inspection.
B. 
Re-inspection fees may be assessed when the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector or for failure to provide access on the date inspection is requested.
