Joe,
Here in NJ there use to be three levels of inspectors:
RCS meant residential/commercial specialist
ICS meant Industrial/commercial specialist
HHS meant Hazardous/High rise specialist
The electrical and plumbing inspectors only have ICS and HHS. Fire and building inspectors still have RCS licenses. An inspector would first get an RCS license, then the ICS then the HHS. Depending on what level of license you have it determines the level of plan review that you can do. It also classifies the town as per a class I town. a Class II or a Class III town. If all of your inspectors have a HHS licensene then the town is considered a Class I town. That means we do any and all plan review and inspection. If your town has even one inspector who has a ICS lic. then that town would be a Class II town. They would do all the inspections but the could not do plan review on High rises or buildings with hazardous areas. The last would be a class III town. This town at least one inspectr only has a RCS lic. and in this town they would do all the inspections but could only do plan review on 1 & 2 family dwellings and certain size businesses.
