No problem, you might have to refrence them hand-in-hand, some folks don't want to go any further after they reach the desired answer.
The answer to that is No. Unless your State has laws that require jurisdictions to perform inspections.Leaving out the rare unusual case of non or misfeasance, the powers that be (including the courts) understand that if jurisdictions are made legally/financially responsible for code deficiencies, building offices would cease to exist. So theoretically, SOME oversight is better than NO oversight.Builder Bob said:If a permit is issued without any inspections performed, isn't the building department and/or inspector liable for civil action under misfeasance?Misfeasance is the inadequate or improper performance of a lawful act
Realistically, most jurisdictions don't inspect many many items in the code. I'd ask, what if that inspector DID get on the roof and looked under say, three areas and found that all was compliant. And later it was discovered that most of the roof wasn't compliant, but he didn't see those parts. Is he still responsible? Why? Why not?. . . . there is no end to it.codeworks said:this is interesting. we don't perform sheathing nailing inspections ( wall) or roof sheathing inspections as part of our "rough frame" . nor do we do roofing inspections at final. nor do we do drywall nailing inspections. i asked "why not" when i got here, was told some mystery tale about a political entity that wouldn't permit it ( read between the lines) just saying, it's kinda different
From whence comes this right? Is it among those inalienable?jar546 said:When a building owner knows there is a building permit that is required, they have a right to be protected by inspections to ensure that minimum standards are being met.
Roof felt is not required on a re-roof where your installing new singles over the existing singles.Pcinspector1 said:This sounds like a re-roof job 2006IRC, R907.3 (4), Where does it say in the code that roof felt is required on a re-roof. No part of Florida is listed in a severe hail exposure area according to figure R903.5. Must be in the Florida Building code?What about inspecting a new house, do you climb on that roof too? Better check your City's insurance policy, they may not cover you?

Is that a local amendment? It’s been the norm has far back as I remember (60's) to install two layers before tearing off.fatboy said:Which was not allowed under the 2006-2009 IRC, one layer up, 2012 allows two layers. Now, nothing in the reroofiing section says you have to remove and re-apply roofing underlayment.
It's been a while hasn't it fatboy. One milestone has been met with one to go. Ironically, you are a person I like....as much as a persona at a computer screen can be liked. I guess a better word would be appreciate. Ya that's the ticket, I appreciated you for as long as it lasted.fatboy said:So ICE, opening myself up for your ridicule, what was the point of the pics, I didn't see it........let me have it.........
I don't even like them BBQ'd, much less poached.mtlogcabin said:ICE is getting ready to poach a doe
