Building/Reroof Inspections
1. Foundation/Concrete Slab Inspection - To be made after excavation for footings are complete and any
required reinforcing steel is in place; and after all rough-in
plumbing or electrical equipment, and other equipment items (if
applicable) are in place and approved, but before any concrete
is placed.
2. Frame Inspection - To be made after the roof, all framing, fire blocking and bracing
are in place and all pipes, chimneys, and vents are complete and
the rough electrical, plumbing, and heating wires, pipes and ducts
are in place, inspected, and approved.
If the building or structure is utilizing a plaster facing, a
lath inspection shall be required. Lath installation shall be started
not necessarily completed prior to requesting a frame inspection.
3. Insulation Inspection - To be made after the frame inspection has been completed and approved.
4. Final Inspection - There shall be a final inspection and approval of all buildings
and structures when complete and ready for occupancy and use. Final
inspection is to be made after finish grading, completion of paved
parking/landscape/drainage, final approval from electrical, mechanical/plumbing,
fire prevention, and the building is completed and ready for occupancy.
Approval Required
Work shall not be done beyond the point indicated in each successive
inspection without first obtaining approval. The building, electrical,
and mechanical/plumbing inspectors, upon notification, shall make
the requested inspections and shall either indicate that portion
of the construction is satisfactory as completed or shall notify
the permittee or his agent with a correction notice of any code/ordinance
violations of the City.
Any portions which do not comply shall be corrected and such portion
shall not be covered or concealed until authorized by the inspector.
Any change in construction that is not consistent with the approved
plans shall require resubmittal of revised plans/construction drawings
and approval by the City. Inspections approval shall not be conducted
until such time that revised plans/construction drawings are approved
by the City.
Inspection Record Card
Work requiring a permit shall not be commenced until the permittee
or his agent has posted or otherwise made available an inspection
record card that will conveniently allow the inspectors to make
the required entries thereon regarding inspection of the work.
This card shall be maintained available by the permittee until
final approval has been granted by the appropriate inspectors.
Reinspections
A reinspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or reinspection
when such portion of work is not complete, when corrections called
for are not made, or when the building is not accessible.
This subsection is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection
fees for the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply
with the requirements of this Code, but for controlling the practice
of calling for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection
or reinspection.
Reinspection fees may be assessed when the permit card is not
properly posted on the work site, the approved plans are not readily
available to the inspector during the inspection process, or for
deviating from plans requiring the approval of the Building Official
or any other department.
To obtain a reinspection, the permittee shall pay the reinspection
fee in accordance with the fee schedule adopted by the City.
In instances where reinspection fees have been assessed, no additional
inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees
have been paid. |
