§ 155.34. REQUIRED INSPECTIONS.

The Building Official, upon notification from the permit holder or agent, may make the following applicable inspections and shall either approve that portion of the work as completed or shall notify the permit holder or agent wherein the same fails to comply with this chapter.

1. Reinforcing Steel or Structural Framework. Reinforcing steel or structural framework of any part of any building or structure may not be covered or concealed without first obtaining the approval of the Building Official.

2. Foundation Inspection. To be made after trenches are excavated and forms erected and when all materials for the foundation are delivered on the job. Where concrete from a central mixing plant (commonly termed “transit mixed”) is to be used, materials need not be on the job.

3. 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.

4. Mechanical Inspection. To be made before concealment or use.

5. Plumbing Inspection. To be made before concealment or use.

6. Electrical Inspection. To be made before concealment or use.

7. Other Inspections. In addition to the called inspections specified above, the Building Official may make or require any other inspections of any construction or work to ascertain compliance with the provisions of this chapter and other laws which are enforced by the Building Official.

8. Reinspections. Reinspections, and fees therefor, may be required as follows:

A. A reinspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or reinspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or when corrections called for are not made.

B. This subsection is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this chapter, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or reinspection.

C. 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, for failure to provide access on the date for which inspection is requested, or for deviating from plans requiring the approval of the Building Official.

D. To obtain a reinspection the applicant shall file an application therefor in writing upon a form furnished for that purpose, and pay the reinspection fee in accordance with Section 155.26.

E. In instances where reinspection fees have been assessed no additional inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have been paid.

9. Final Inspection. To be made after work is completed and/or the building ready for occupancy.
