Good Morning,
New to the jurisdiction, and inspections. Town is a little behind, now I'm trying to get it back on track. Looking to see if anyone has drafted a letter or handouts pertaining to permits required (looking for ideas). For years no one truly had to follow the rules everyone here (small town Midwest) in my position was a local. Now I am coming in from a large city looking at it from the prospective of the code, not as friend or long time neighbor. I am catching and seeing guys working without permits. Then they are coming in saying they were unaware they needed them after I issue the stop work (some just BS'ing me I'm sure but some may just be misinformed). Trying to figure out a way to get everyone in the understanding the requirements that need to be followed. Without painting a big target on my back, by stop working everyone or pulling licenses.
Any advise is appreciated
