All construction or work for which a permit is required is subject to one or more inspections by the Building Safety Division.
All such construction or work shall remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes until approved by the building official. In addition, certain types of construction shall have special inspections, as specified by the latest edition of the California Building Code.
It shall be the duty of the permit applicant to cause the work to remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes. Neither the building official nor the jurisdiction shall be liable for expense entailed in the removal or replacement of any material required to allow inspection.
The County inspector checks the work that is being done for compliance with the approved plans and applicable codes and ordinances.
The County inspector will check each phase of the job and shall approve it before the next part of the job begins.
The County inspection job card given to you when permits are issued will list the inspections required for your project, although additional inspections may be necessary when noted or the County inspector adds them to your inspection card.
The County inspector signs and dates the inspection job card for each inspection approved and will provide you with a list of corrections for work not approved. The list of corrections will include a brief explanation of each correction (i.e. deviation from the approved plans).
