CALL 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE FOR INSPECTIONS

After the building permit has been issued, the contractor has the responsibility of assuring that all required inspections are requested and that any variations from the approved plans are submitted and re-approved prior to making the change.

Only when the permit is displayed and the approved plans are present shall the Inspector perform the inspection.

Each individual subcontractor or the job superintendent must be present during the required inspections. If no one is available, the inspection must be rescheduled.

Required inspections shall be requested by the contractor or his subcontractor a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours before the inspection is needed.
