(a) Training. The Director of the Department of Inspections and Permits shall establish a program for training building, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing inspectors to perform all of the matters required for a complete final inspection of a residence. The training program shall be structured so as to ensure the ability of an inspector to perform the inspection properly and reasonably.
(b) Inspections. Inspections required under §§ 15-2-101, 15-2-102, and 15-2-103 are ordinarily performed by a building inspector. Inspections required under §§ 15-2-202 et seq. are ordinarily performed by an electrical inspector. Inspections required under §§ 15-2-301, 15-2-402 et seq., and 15-2-502 et seq. are ordinarily performed by a mechanical inspector or a plumbing inspector. However, any of these inspectors may perform a complete final residential inspection for compliance with all the required construction codes if the inspector has been certified by the Director as having successfully completed the training program referred to in subsection (a).
