When they are done as talked about earlier, I make note of them and don't refer anything. When the hips are done like the one in the picture, i.e. short scabs and no (not in picture) bracing, I note and suggest that an SE evaluate. You'll have to make the call. I believe in another thread it was determined that IRC does not specifically address it. Therefore, I think, but several others will probably know, that what is appropriate is going to fall in the category of whether or not an SE says it's okay.

I have had cases where an SE has said' Your Inspector is an idiot. It's fine." I have had cases where a substantial part of the roof has been rebuilt because an SE says, "the splices are inadequate." Not surprisingly, the former category happens when the builder calls the original SE. In any event, my report stands as written.
