12-203 : Building inspections.

  1. Purpose. The purpose of building inspection is to ensure the building code, as adopted by city ordinance or resolution, are correctly accomplished so as to protect public health, safety and general welfare as the code relates to the construction and occupancy of residential and commercial buildings and structures.
  2. Inspections.

    1. Footing and location inspection. Siting prep will be checked for proper lay-out, setbacks, and septic location. Footings will be checked after they are dug and completely cleaned and all required reinforcing steel is in place, before placement of concrete.
    2. Foundation inspection. Foundations will be checked before framing is started, for anchor bolts, reinforcement, and installation of all other applicable hardware and waterproofing.
    3. Framing inspection. After installation of exterior doors and windows, the rough-in framing will be checked to confirm bearing walls and point loads are transferred all the way to the foundation and that fire blocking and bracing is in compliance.
    4. Final inspection. The building official will inspect to ensure that the house is complete and that all life and safety items meet code.
  3. Other building inspections. Code compliance, where applicable, relative to utility services, specialty installations, and construction finish rests with the installers, contractors, subcontractors and/or the supplying utility or service; (e.g., electricity, water, natural gas, propane, communications, security, automation, etc.).
  4. Premature request for inspection. If the general contractor, owner representative, or owner-builder calls for inspection but is not ready, the responsible party may be charged for an additional inspection.
  5. Certification. Building or fire inspectors, whether municipal, county, or state must be currently certified through the Tennessee State Fire Marshall's Office per Tennessee Code Annotated, § 68-120-113 before enforcing applicable fire or building codes.
  6. Reports. The building official shall be seated, ex officio, as a member of the Baneberry Planning Commission to report status of permits and projects to the planning commission who provides zoning, subdivision and building reports to the Baneberry Board of Commissioners.
