Dissed by The Building Inspector! #fail
What happens here
The contractor reviews the project's permits, revealing a significant cost disparity: the natural resources permit (for silt fence and erosion control) incurred a $554 inspection fee, whereas the actual building demolition permit cost only $98. He expresses frustration over the high fee for inspecting a temporary silt fence, particularly since the job site is already within an excavation and behind a retaining wall, with the silt fence not even fully staked. He critiques the system in a small town charging such high fees for minimal oversight.
Goal: Understand and comply with local permitting and inspection requirements.
