Not where I really want to be
Another municipality where I am only used for certain inspections. In this case, I am there for electrical only and of course kept my mouth shut.

Just because it doesn't require a permit doesn't mean it can be built without complying with the code... I hate those "no-permit exceptions" for that very reason. I'd rather issue free permits, and free inspections for sheds, walls, fences, etc.

Unless you ahve some very unusually written local amendments, your ahj can require code compliance even if a permit is not required.
 
Jeff,

It looks like you could have a whole other career just taking photos of

construction / code issues!

Maybe you can start a subsidiary to "Jeff's Inspection Services", ...hire

some more inspectors to just take photos! :D Just look at how

successful Mike Holmes Show has become. People DO want to see

this type of stuff!

That looks similar to a communications cabinet. I'm guessing that the owners

will be relocating it to a more suitable location.

This is a large township with pre-1999 ordinances. A permit was required. Even if one was not, there is still a problem. This garage has its own electrical service, will be insulated and heated.

2008 NEC, Article 230.2©(3) & (D) allows the installation of an additional meter.

I've seen this before.

Drive by next year this time. It's going to be a house.

Those "narrow walls that don't work" are all over Oklahoma; in very large, very expensive new homes.

Well they got close to complying! They split the doors up so the headers are not over 18'.

Are those 30' 2X8's in the 2nd picture for ceiling joists?
 
Looks like an APA portal for braced walls which I believe requires continuous header that goes all the way to the corner and plate washers or hold down brackets at the sill. What did I miss?

Just the outside part of the headers need to go all the way to the corner. The interior portions do not.

None is mandatory, because those laws don't apply to you...It is really good practice to save them in multiple medium for at least 10 years.
