The first inspection resulted in a correction to manage the bare copper EGC away from aluminum. Here the workman has removed the modules and is installing lay-in lugs to secure the wire.
It was at the second inspection that I had this picture. Notice the plumbing vent that was shortened.

Correction was written to isolate the neutral from ground due to this being a sub-panel. There is two of them.
I write those corrections all of the time. I even make them completely remove that green "jumper" screw. Blows me away that seasoned, licensed, professional companies have been consistently doing it this way for way too long. "I've been doing it this way for 30 years" or "the county lets me do it." Don't care, doesn't make it right.

Permit says furnace and AC. I called the contractor. He has attitude. Tells me how he took over from another contractor that #!&^%$ it up. Gives me grief for asking for pictures. Well I do everything from my garage and unless you're gonna haul the thing over here...I want pictures.
The last picture is about the duct being supported by a cloth strap. The strap starts out wide enough to meet code. Over time it folds up and is not code compliant. I used to turn this stuff down but I lost that battle because the product has a listing as duct strap.
And no, I did not write corrections related to the junction box or cable.
I delivered some corrections but not all of them. I would have delivered all of the corrections at one time but because he shorted me on the pictures I don't know what those corrections are....yet. His attitude is gone.

Is there a furnace shut-off switch nearby?
I see an A/C line set but where's the a-coil? Is there a Pan?
Need more cowbell, I mean pictures!
