It is in this stage where the built out process is reviewed to ensure it meets the specifications of the previously approved plans submitted to obtain the required building permits. Inspections are performed based upon the details of the construction requirements contained within the approved plans. If the building complies, this process leads to a certificate of occupancy. Inspections include structural, concrete, electric, mechanical, plumbing, fire, energy, building, health, landscape, drainage and engineering and any special inspections needed to address unusual hazards. Buildings are inspected for compliance with Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, Energy and Zoning Codes.
Inspection also addresses zoning and housing codes complaints.
