What is the period of time for which an inspection permit may be temporarily removed?

The appropriate period for which an inspection permit may be temporarily removed is 30 days or more but less than a year. This timeframe is generally established to allow for flexibility within construction schedules or for the necessary inspection processes without compromising safety and regulatory compliance.

Temporary removal of an inspection permit for less than 30 days would not provide sufficient buffer time for common delays or necessary adjustments. Conversely, if the temporary removal were to extend to one year or longer, it might introduce significant risks regarding safety inspections and ensure that the work being completed remains compliant with current codes and standards. The specific duration of 30 days to less than a year provides a reasonable balance, allowing periodic inspections and compliance checks to continue while accommodating practical delays in work.
