	INSPECTION PROCEDURES: Inspection General - All construction or work for which a permit is required shall be subject to inspection by the Building Official and all such construction or work shall remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes until approved by the Building Official. Approval as a result of an inspection shall not be construed to be an approval of a violation of the provisions of the building code. Inspections presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of the code shall not be valid. It shall be the duty of the permit applicant to cause the work to remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes. Neither the Building Official nor the University shall be liable for expenses entailed in the removal or replacement of any material required to allow inspection. A survey of the lot may be required by the Building Official to verify that the structure is located in accordance with the approved plans. Inspection Record Card - Work requiring a permit shall not be commenced until the permit holder or an agent of the permit holder shall have posted or otherwise made available an inspection record card such as to allow the Building Official to conveniently make the required entries thereon regarding inspection of the work. This card shall be posted until final approval has been granted by the Building Official. Inspection Requests - It shall be the duty of the person doing the work authorized by a permit to notify the University Inspector that such work is ready for inspection. The University Inspector may require that every request for inspection be filed at least two working days before such inspection is desired (Inspections over 100 miles from Mpls. require 3 working days notice.). Such request may be by letter, fax or by telephone (e-mail reqeusts are not acceptable ) at the option of the appropriate inspector. It shall be the duty of the person requesting any inspections required by this code to provide access to and means for inspection of such work. Approval Required - Work shall not be done beyond the point indicated in each of the successive inspections without first obtaining the approval of the Building Official. The Building Official, upon notification, shall make the requested inspections and shall either indicate that portion of the construction is satisfactory as completed, or shall notify the permit holder or an agent of the permit holder wherein the same fails to comply with the code. Any portions that do not comply shall be corrected and such portion shall not be covered or concealed until authorized by the Building Official. There shall be a final inspection and approval of all buildings and structures when completed and ready for occupancy and use.
