A. An inspection fee may be assessed and levied by the building official incident to the inspection of the work on any building or structure, building service equipment or sign as required by this chapter if, at the time the requested inspection is made:
1. The work to be inspected is not complete or previously required corrections to such work have not been made;
2. The work to be inspected deviates, in a significant manner, from the approved plans and specifications for such work;
3. The approved plans and specifications for such work are not readily available to the building official at the work site;
4. Safe and convenient access to the work to be inspected is not provided to the building official; or
5. An inspection record card is not posted at the work site. Provided that, this section shall not be interpreted as requiring inspection fees the first time the work to be inspected is rejected or for failure to comply with any building standards adopted by this chapter, but as controlling the practice of calling for an inspection prior to the time the work is ready for such inspection.
B. Inspection fees assessed by the building official pursuant to this chapter shall be in an amount set forth in a schedule of inspection fees established by resolution of the city council and shall be paid prior to any further inspections required by this chapter.
