there are three types of inspections handled by building departments. The
first type, called inspections, are routine visits to a construction site to check
for code compliance during specific phases of construction as part of the
permit process. If violations are discovered, corrective action must be taken
and the site must be reinspected after the corrections are made.
Compliant inspections are the second type. These result when complaints
about code or zoning matters are initiated by someone outside of the
building department. Code officials check the compliant, gather information
in the field and made a recommendation. They may make no
recommendations for action; they may indicate it is outside their jurisdiction;
or they can send notice to the violator. If a notice is sent, a follow-up
inspection is conducted, and in cases of noncompliance, court action is
initiated.
Survey and periodic inspections are the third type. survey inspections may
include all existing buildings in a block or neighborhood. Periodic inspections,
in contrast, focus on specific types of buildings such as schools, apartments
or commercial buildings that a community may want to monitor. Periodic
inspections are made at regular intervals.
