Comment on Solar power and storage prices have dropped almost 90%
Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 year agoBecause it takes months to get inspectors out, we wanted to do everything we could to avoid having them come out again. A lot of times I’ve saved a job by promising to do a spot fix and having the inspector swing back by later that day, or take pictures/video and send it to them.

We have 2 inspectors for all inspections (commercial and residential for all trades) who are also our building plan reviewers, building official, and City Arborist for one of the fastest-growing cities in the country (about 45k people now), and we can almost always make it next business day. We can do same day most of the time.
Sounds like you’re working in a city that doesn’t know how to manage resources.

Definitely true, when it comes to inspectors. But also they just didn’t care.
The inspectors were good at their jobs, but they had no sense of urgency whatsoever.
The department was also critically understaffed. Probably still is. I’ve been out of the industry for 5 years.
