So I posted a while ago about a failed inspection
He failed it again for me not having the temporary far enough away from the building.
I told him it’s only 2 inches off the wall, but it’s not attached and the builders fine was going around it cause that’s what he wants and he says he doesn’t care. They’re gonna hit it…..
Well, I ended up calling the chief inspector today he said I was right withthe pictures I sent ……
I reached out and told the inspector that I talked to his boss I didn’t give names or locations, but his boss that I’m right I would like to proceed nicely with getting this temporary service approved so it doesn’t cost me more money or hold up the job
He has not responded back….
I’ll submit the pictures
The chief Electrical Inspector said well he could’ve possibly called you on not having a platform. It’s not a grade yet I said yeah I could’ve even though it will eventually be graded, but he didn’t even dispute that and if he did dispute it, the guy could just backfill it……
This is now holding me up, so I now have to set temp pulse which is gonna cost me money that I wasn’t planning on has anyone retroactively sued the Inspectir for damages for his negligence and not allowing a compliant install?
This is not his first time and this is not his last time so talking with the inspector he didn’t give me another code reference to shut him up on another job he is disputing me.
This is probably more of a rant than anything, but what should I do?
