This question is for inspectors and anyone who may want to answer.
Scenario:
The contractor calls for an inspection. The inspector sees the contractor of record has no violations for his work . But as he walks through a space to get to where the inspection is, he sees violations that are safety related and need to be addressed.
1. Can he send a violation to the building owner?
2. Can he send a violation to the building owner and the building department?
3. Is he required by law to send these violations?
4. Can he insist after 30 days from sending the notice of defects that the situation is dangerous and must be addressed?
5. What is the liability for the inspector/company if he does nothing?
Thank you for answering any of these questions!!!
