What must the special inspector file before a certificate of occupancy issues on a threshold building?
Correct Answer
C) A signed and sealed statement that the load-bearing work matches the permitted documents
Section 553.79(9)(a) requires the special inspector, on completion and before the certificate of occupancy, to file a signed and sealed statement substantially in the form given: "To the best of my knowledge and belief, the construction of all structural load-bearing components described in the threshold inspection plan complies with the permitted documents, and the specialty shoring design professional engineer has ascertained that the shoring and reshoring conforms with the shoring and reshoring plans."
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Section 553.79(9)(a) requires the special inspector, on completion and before the certificate of occupancy, to file a signed and sealed statement substantially in the form given: "To the best of my knowledge and belief, the construction of all structural load-bearing components described in the threshold inspection plan complies with the permitted documents, and the specialty shoring design professional engineer has ascertained that the shoring and reshoring conforms with the shoring and reshoring plans."
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: A copy of the approved structural inspection plan, marked as completed
A marked-up plan is not the required signed statement.
Option B: A letter from the fee owner confirming that every inspection fee has now been fully paid
A fee letter is not the required signed statement.
Option D: A daily log of every inspection performed during the course of the work
A daily log is not the required signed statement.
