Been seeing an increase of complete garbage submitted lately that I am quite surprised would come from a licensed DP. Stuff like trying to turn a commercial basement into an A-2 with an occupant load of 260, all egress back up 1 set of steps to the A-2 above and no sprinklers or ADA bathrooms.
When the DP was questioned I received the response: "I know, but I am only doing what I was told to do. I already told the client it would get rejected at plan review but they said to submit it that way anyway."
I have heard this and very similar stories a few times this past year or so. My response was always "What if a moron did plan review and approved it and your stamp is on it?" Why would you submit something that you knew was completely non-compliant? Isnt there standards for your to follow under the law?
