When shall a final inspection be conducted?

  1. After the permit is issued

  2. After permitted work is complete

  3. After the occupants move in

  4. Upon beginning the permitted work

The correct answer is: After permitted work is complete

A final inspection is a critical step in the construction process that ensures all work has been completed in accordance with applicable codes, regulations, and the details specified in the permit. The appropriate time for this inspection is after the permitted work is fully complete. This timing allows inspectors to thoroughly evaluate the completed project, ensuring it meets safety standards and complies with zoning and building codes. Conducting the final inspection after the work is completed is essential because it allows for a comprehensive review of the project as a whole. Inspectors can identify any potential issues that need to be addressed before the project is deemed satisfactory and ready for occupancy. Other stages, such as inspecting work in progress or before occupancy, may not provide an accurate assessment of the final project and its compliance with regulations.
