Re-roofing inspections will also fall into this category. This inspection, and the fee, may be waived if the outside mechanical equipment is secured at the time of the final framing inspection. The major item which will be examined during the mechanical equipment inspection is anchorage of exterior air conditioner equipment. However, anchorage of any other exterior equipment, such as floodlights, turbine vents, propane tanks, swimming pool filters, water cooling towers, and satellite dishes will also be inspected. If you have any questions concerning the timing of inspections, or concerning the following construction guidelines, you are encouraged to contact the nearest field office.
All necessary forms are available at the field offices, and some city building departments.
Upon completion of any inspection, the inspector will usually leave Form WPI-7, the Field Form , at the job site. The Field Form indicated whether an inspection was approved or not, and lists all deficiencies if the structure does not pass the inspection.
