The building official shall conduct inspection of residential housing in order to determine whether such housing is in compliance with the energy conservation standards adopted by this chapter whenever an application for such inspection is filed with the building division by an owner of such housing or such owner's authorized representative. Such application shall be in a form prescribed by the building official and shall be accompanied by an inspection fee in an amount established by resolution of the city council.
If, as a result of such inspection, the building official determines that the residential housing being inspected is in compliance with the energy conservation standards adopted by this chapter, the building official shall promptly issue a certificate evidencing such compliance and cause a copy of such certificate to be served on the owner of such housing or such owner's authorized representative. However, if, as a result of such inspection, the building official determines that the residential housing being inspected is not in compliance with the energy conservation standards adopted by this chapter, the building official shall promptly cause a report to be prepared which identifies, with particularity, all noncomplying conditions and cause a copy of such report to be served on the owner of such housing or such owner's authorized representative.
Any certificate of compliance or inspection report issued or prepared by the building official pursuant to this section shall be deemed to have been served on the owner of residential housing or such owner's authorized representative when a copy of such certificate or report is personally delivered to such owner or representative, or when a copy of such certificate or report is placed in the United States mail, registered and postage prepaid, addressed to such owner or authorized representative at the address appearing on the inspection application.
