As a working electrical sub code,I know of a very few inspectors doing poor work. One has just been fired! The DCA does a fairly good job in policing inspectors, but I hear from some contractors that we are too tough on them, you know the one that never reads a code book. We also have contractors that get very mad at themself if they miss something and the jobs fails. The problem is the money. How many times do we hear the owner say "I saved money or he costs too much. They get what they paid for and I find about 65% of the times the job fails.It is not right. Track homes and condo have to be inspected very closely, some contractors cut every place they can. Not only electrical contractors, but builders,roofers plumbers,ect. The state should license all builder and remolders.
