Greetings all,
I have been sidetracked doing other things the last 2 years but I finally made it. I passed the legal test after having made combination residential and combination building.
Now I know Righter just passed the tech and is gearing up for the legal. This may help. I found that the legal test was primarily out of the Building Department Administraion, Legal Aspects of Code Administration, and the one they are doing away with which is Effective Supervisory Practices (which is a really stupid book IMHO). There were no questions out of the IRC, IFC, and just a couple from the IBC. There were a few questions on budgets and such out of the finance book but I think they are doing away with that book too. Of course that may not always be the case. I will say this, a number of questions were verbatim out of the Building Department Administration Workbook. Having been trained as a code enforcement officer in Tx really was beneficial too as probably 50% of the test was about code enforement.
a sample question I recall
A building inspector turns down an inspection for a code violation
The building official reverses the inspector's decision and ok's the inspection knowing there is a code violation.
The building official is guilty of ____.
a malfeasance
b misfeasance
c nonfeasance
d ?
Happy Thankgiving to all
