This might be a different direction but, when another trade creates an electrical violation where an electrician has a permit and calls for the inspection it is IMO an electrical violation and goes against the electrician.
The owner is responsible for correcting the defect but it is an electrical violation.
Devices set to deep in drywall, or in wood paneling; balconies or windows at the point of attachment; a double sink put in where a single was planned so there is an outlet on only one side; putting the water heater in front of the panel.
Smoke detectors are not in the electrical code but, the electrician always gets blamed for not having them.
It isn't fair but, it is the Code.
I just write the violation, who fixes it is up to the owner.
