Re: Indiana ICC inspector
Got to agree with Joe.
It does not take a degree in rocket science to cite a paragraph out of a code book. If you can read, then you can cite the code. Who gives a flip if the builder recognizes the problem or not, if it is wrong it is wrong and it is not the inspectors problem if the builder is being unreasonable.
If you are scared or uncomfortable to cite a code then try verbiage that word it like it is a safety hazard, or that it does not meet recognized building practices or it does not meet the manufacturers standards(my favorite and most used). If worded like that it is not a code cite and many times will have a greater impact than a code cite. You could easily describe just about any problem found with new construction using one of those three methods.
