If I contract with a builder for the construction, who is responsible to call for inspections and final occupancy approval?
It shall be the responsibility of the person doing the work authorized by a permit to notify the Fire Prevention Division that such work is ready for inspection. The legal owner is responsible to verify inspections and approvals. If you want your builder to assume this responsibility, this should be specified within your contract, but you should check your permit and make sure final approval to occupy has been given prior to moving into the building. Normally, the installing company schedules the inspection appointment for their installation.
