For the past 61/2 years I have been doing multistorey apartment buildings in several ndifferent states. I have seen insectors who were very good to very incompentent. The good ones were usually easy to talk to and fair on the code enforcement. if they had a local code issue they were enforcing strongly they told us about it either during our talks with them before the actual constuction or during our first rough in inspection.
The pain in the a** always told about what they wanted thier way after the inspection sometimes on a letter sent to the GC 2-5 days after inspection. one place I found out that to pass an inspection cost $50.00 every time the inspector showed up.
Had one site the inspector came out to the job site during rough grading looked at the plans for about 10 sec and told me $900.00 for the permit and he would come by tommarrow to take care of it so I would not have to fight the traffic downtown. Next day 900 cash was given rough in and final tags- never saw him again
