Hot ground reverse .

And he did his job, inspecting, and found and noted that there is a problem. His job isn't to repair the deficiencies he finds.

The hot/neutral reversed is just the combination of lights that is on during the testing. May be actual reversed leads or may be other conditions that will cause such lights to be illuminated, whoever does troubleshoot it will have to figure that out, first step likely is to verify that it actually is as simple as hot/neutral being reversed.

Agreed.:thumbsup:

I agree, KWired, it is up to the electrician to find the fault and fix it, hopefully before the inspectors ever step foot on the property.

I don't know how much experience your helper has, but I'd check to see if they broke the tabs off both the hot and neutral on the switched outlet(s). That seems like something a rookie would do if they don't understand how switched outlets work.
