ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Electrical Inspections by 3rd Parties?

I work for a third party agency. There are good inspectors and pain in !!!! inspectors. I here stories from contractors about local inspectors saying "we do it this way in our town". I have seen third party inspectors that can work with contractors also. Like any trade there are good and bad. How do you deal with them out?

Inspector grump,

Welcome to this board. There are a lot of good and knowlegeable people here. We all want to work together so please don't be a grump. My best friend works for a third party here in NJ and he is a very fair inspector. I have seen many of those @#$%^& pain in the a** type of inspectors. That is the reason I got my inspectors lic. This way I could talk to them on their own level. BTW do you know a Tony Montori who is the AHJ in Montclair?

Welcome to ECN...
Yes, there are good & bad everyplace.

I see both sides of the "fence".
Contractor & P/T AHJ for Twp of Edison.

"Down the block from you!!!" & A-ways from Harold.

I don't know about where you live but around LA 3rd party inspections ARE big $$$$$$$$.
City inspectors have alot of job security here.

welcome Inspector Grump, i would expand on your question here, but i'm sure i'd burn a gapping hole in cyberspace with the bandwidth conflaguration i would create.

I'd let the DCA deal with them. The DCA from what I hear is very unkind to bad inspectors.

Inspector Grump,

Yes here in NJ the DCA does watch over all of us. Third party and municiple employees. If we screw up too badly, you can bet that the DCA will be after us. For all of you that are not in NJ the DCA is the Department of Community Affairs. They are the people who give us our inspectors licenses. Plus they can take them away!
