Don't know what final was done in november, whether it was building, electrical or plumbing. (yes these are different inspectors usually)
But as for the violation, the code section reads as follows:
E3306.4 Stranded conductors. Where installed in raceways,
conductors of size No. 8 and larger shall be stranded. A solid
No. 8 conductor shall be permitted to be installed in a raceway
only to meet the requirements of Section E4104.
(E4104 deals with pool bonding).
My advise is to contact the inspector and see exactly what needs to be fixed)
