What is the role of a building official upon discovering an unsafe condition?

To verbally inform the owner
To deliver a written notice
To immediately cite the owner
To close the building

The correct answer is: To deliver a written notice

The correct choice reflects the role of a building official as being responsible for ensuring compliance with safety codes and regulations. When an unsafe condition is discovered, the building official must deliver a written notice to the property owner or responsible party. This written notice serves several important purposes: it documents the finding, provides specific details about the unsafe condition, and formally communicates the requirement for remediation. This process not only ensures that the owner is fully aware of the situation but also establishes a legal record that may be necessary for future proceedings. The written notice often includes expectations for corrective actions and a timeline for compliance, which helps facilitate a clear resolution of the issue. Other options, although they may contain elements of truth regarding communication or action, do not entirely encompass the formal and documented approach required by most jurisdictions, which emphasizes written notification as a critical step in handling unsafe conditions.
