All construction work for which a permit is required shall be subject to inspection by the building official. All such construction or work, including footings and foundations (structural and location), electrical connections, etc., shall remain accessible and exposed for inspection until approved. Approval as a result of an inspection shall not be construed to be an approval of a violation of the provisions of this Code. Inspections presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of this Code shall not be valid. It shall be the duty of the permit applicant to cause the work to remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes and to schedule and be present for the required inspections. Neither the building official nor the City shall be liable for expense entailed in the removal of any material required to allow inspection. (Ord. 1099, 4-8-2021)
