for failure to comply with the requirements of this Code, but as controlling the practice of calling for
inspections before the job is ready for inspection or reinspection.
Reinspection fees may be assessed when the approved plans are not readily available to the
inspector, for failure to provide access on the date for which the inspection is required, or for deviating from
plans requiring the approval of the Administrative Authority.

for that purpose and pay the re-inspection fee in accordance with the Master Fee Schedule of the City of

be performed until the required fees have been paid.
