Same, otherwise I can waive the requirement which I do on occasion.

A permit is required but not plans, What would have been discovered in a plan check would be discovered during an inspection. We have bigger fish to fry.

Agree, but it depends on if they are moving the drain location and if they are affecting any fire-rated assemblies.

In my world, a permit would be required if
a) the renovation is dicking around with a fire separation or fire stop (wall adjacent to another suite/corridor, most like) or
b) accessibility requirements apply.

Moving the location of a drain for a tub to shower or shower to tub or shower to shower can be a big issue in a high-rise, especially if it is a post tension building. Many condo associations don't allow the any slab work at all for this very reason among some others.
