Mike, I think you may have misunderstood.

This system is not the primary Life safety. Globally I think we are on the same page with those.

It is a fire suppression system for an IT data room.
The panel is outside the protected room (per code).
This 9'X9' room has used maybe....50' of wire. COMPLETE!

Any way, The Inspector new his job. Rightfully called it.
But, still revenue Enhancement.

Keep in mind that the permit fees cover all the expenses of the code enforcement dept. Any 'excess' goes to the twp general fund.

Again, that's the scenario in a perfect world.

There have been a few local instances of financial disasters, but that's another story.
