When should a follow-up inspection be scheduled?

Scheduling a follow-up inspection after significant repairs or code violations have been corrected is essential to ensure that all work has been completed satisfactorily and meets applicable codes and standards. This step is crucial in confirming that the repairs effectively address the issues noted in the previous inspection and that the facility is safe for use. It also allows for a verification process; inspectors can assess whether the necessary corrections align with the initial recommendations made during the inspection.

Follow-up inspections guarantee compliance with local regulations and help protect the safety and integrity of the building. This approach fosters accountability and ensures that the property owner has properly addressed any deficiencies identified in the earlier assessment.

Other choices, like scheduling only after a year or during regular maintenance visits, do not directly address the need for remediation verification, while a follow-up tied to landscaping work typically is not relevant to significant structural or safety concerns necessitating an inspection.
