§ 154-11. Inspections.

A. 

Work for which a building permit has been issued shall be inspected for approval prior to enclosing or covering any portion thereof and upon completion of each stage of construction, including but not limited to building location, site preparation, excavation, foundation, framing, superstructure, electrical, plumbing and heating and air conditioning. It shall be the responsibility of the owner to inform a code enforcement officer that the work is ready for inspection and to schedule such inspection.

B. 

Existing buildings not subject to inspection under Subsection A of this section shall be subject to periodic inspections for compliance with the Uniform Code in accordance with the following schedule: all areas of public assembly defined in the Uniform Code, all buildings or structures containing areas of public assembly and the common areas of multiple dwellings, every year; all buildings or structures open to the general public and all other buildings, at intervals consistent with local conditions or by bona fide complaint. Notwithstanding any requirement of this subsection to the contrary, no regular periodic inspections of occupied dwelling units shall be required; provided, however, that this shall not be a limitation on inspections conducted at the invitation of the occupant or where conditions on the premises threaten or present a hazard to public health, safety or welfare.
