Failure to have the required inspections performed may result in you having to uncover and expose the work for inspection.

Any proposed changes from the approved plans must be approved by a Building Inspector PRIOR to construction.

It is the owner's (or contractor's) responsibility to notify the building inspector when ready for an inspection. An inspection will take place within 2 business days, except for Occupancy Inspections which will take place within 10 business days.
