The inspection is a foundation for a 25 square foot addition of a closet. My first thought was really? a permit for 25 sq. ft. ...and it's a closet....located where it can't be seen from the street.

Well they didn't place the anchor bolts and they have 1/2" where 5/8" are required. They showed me on the plans where it says 1/2" anchor bolts. I crossed that out and penned in 5/8".

The inspection request said "Fire suppression system"....that's the Fire dept, not me....so I inspected the water heater.....some electrical too. They got ten corrections and I wasn't supposed to be there.

We got one not too long ago for a 22 sq. ft. addition to a dining room. It had a 4 foot frost wall and engineered trusses.
 
was the flex gas hose passing through the sheet metal one of the 10?

What is the cylinder in the hall? A nitrogen or oxygen cylinder?

Yes it was...along with being too small in diameter and connected to a valve that lacks a handle.

This is a restaurant so my guess on the tank is CO2. Whatever it is, it should be secured in place.

Not yet. I saw it yesterday for the first time. I left a notice to obtain a permit. It might take ten years but they will remove it.
 
This was my Friday. How could I tell there was a new, unpermitted garage addition? What's that inside the new garage? Oh, that's just your egress window from the bonus room bedroom. This is a sunroom company deciding they can build garages now. Hope they learned something the first time, because they get to do it again. This time out of the easement.

This was my Monday. They had a permit for an interior re-model. That doesn't include an addition to the kitchen. Or enclosing the gas meter inside your new addition. Another person gets to start again from scratch.
