A. 
All inspections and reinspections must be scheduled by appointment with the Construction Office.
B. 
Applicants canceling a scheduled appointment for an inspection or reinspection must provide notice to the Construction Office at least 24 hours prior to the time of the scheduled appointment, exclusive of weekends and holidays, or a fee of $60 shall be assessed.
C. 
A reinspection fee of $60 shall be assessed for each inspection or reinspection when such portion of work for which the reinspection has been called is not complete in accordance with the initial inspection.
D. 
Should a reinspection or noncancellation fee be assessed, no further inspections or reinspections shall be conducted until such fees have been paid. This provision is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the first time a project is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this Code, but rather as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the project is ready for inspection or reinspection. The Construction Office shall have sole discretion in determining when aforesaid fee shall be assessed.
