What is generally required if an inspection reveals a code violation?

If an inspection reveals a code violation, immediate repair or correction of the issue is typically required to ensure compliance with safety standards and building codes. Adhering to these codes is crucial not only for the safety of the occupants but also for legal and liability reasons. Addressing violations promptly can prevent potential hazards and more extensive, costly repairs in the future. Additionally, many jurisdictions mandate that any identified violations be resolved before proceeding with further construction or occupancy of the building.

Other options, such as a complete redesign of the project or merely notifying the homeowner without taking corrective actions, are generally not necessary or adequate responses to a code violation. Continuing construction without rectifying the issue could lead to further violations and complications during inspections, which can delay the overall project timeline and incur additional costs. Thus, the requirement for immediate repair and compliance is in line with maintaining safety and adhering to established regulations.
