(C) The Department shall endeavor to schedule all inspections as requested; however, priority is given to inspections which involve an immediate life safety issue and on a first call-in basis.
(D) If a footer, foundation, or slab inspection has not been completed within one hour of the time set by the Department, the permittee may pour concrete and continue work on the footer, foundation, or slab provided the work has been completed in compliance with applicable law.

A re-inspection shall be requested by the permittee once corrective work is completed and must pass inspection prior to any additional work being completed which would affect the completion of the required inspection. The Building Commissioner may require engineering analysis at the expense of the permittee to certify that the work has been completed in compliance with applicable law.
