A. Required Inspections. The Building Commissioner or his or her duly authorized inspectors will make all of the following inspections and all such additional inspections as the Building Commissioner deems necessary to enforce the provisions of this Title, the Lake Bluff Zoning Regulations, and other applicable codes and ordinances:
1. After excavation has been made preparatory to any underground installation such as footings, foundations, sewers, water lines, or other underground systems.
2. After installation of underground systems and before any backfilling.
3. After installation of framing, ducts for heating and ventilation, vents, chimneys, plumbing, electrical system, fireplace firebox, flues and chimneys, prefabricated fireplaces, fire sprinkler systems, fuel gas piping and other installations that may be concealed in walls, floors, ceilings, attics, or other inaccessible locations and before such work has been covered by plaster, wallboard, furring, or any other material.
4. After installation of a central heating and cooling plant and its accessories and before it is placed into operation, emergency backup power generators, accessory structures, and hardscape.
5. After all construction and cleanup work has been completed and an occupancy permit has been requested.
B. Request By Permittee. The permittee must request an inspection from the Building Commissioner at least 24 hours in advance of the inspection. No such request may be made until the work and the site are in full compliance with all standards applicable to the work for which the inspection is requested. The same requirements apply to all reinspections. One reinspection will be allowed at no charge. Subsequent reinspections will be charged at the rate established in Section 1-12-3. “Reinspection” means any additional inspection of the same work previously inspected and not approved.
C. Exposure Of Covered Work. If any work is covered prior to proper inspection of it, then the Building Commissioner may require that such work be uncovered at the permittee’s expense so that a proper inspection can be made.
D. Inspection Of Existing Conditions. The Building Commissioner or his or her duly authorized inspectors may enter on all property and structures in the Village during all regular Village business hours and all other reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting such property and structures. No person may deny access to any premises for such inspections. (Ord. 2021-13, 6-28-2021)
