IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING INSPECTIONS:

• Advanced notice of 24 hours is preferred.
• While we will do our best to accommodate requests of Morning (AM) or Afternoon (PM), we are unable to guarantee any specific time. To avoid conflicts between completion of work and the inspector’s arrival, please plan ahead and schedule inspections only when certain of completion (i.e. – work scheduled for PM should be ready for inspection by NOON or scheduled for the following day).
• Failed inspections may result in a re-inspection fee of $45.00, at the discretion of the inspector. This fee must be paid prior to the scheduling of further inspections.
• Where occupied structures are affected by electrical service repairs/changes, or by gas repairs/tests where service has been disconnected, the contractor is responsible for pulling the permit and arranging the inspection in advance whenever possible. In cases of emergency, the Inspections Department should be notified of the work as soon as possible so that arrangements for inspection and re-connection can be made.
