In addition to the called inspections specified above,the building offi- cial may make or require other inspections of any construction work to ascertain compliance with the provisions of this code and other laws which are enforced by the code enforcement agency. 108.8 Reinspection. A reinspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or reinspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or when corrections called for are not made. This subsection is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the first time a job is rejected 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 such inspection or reinspection. Reinspection fees may be assessed when the inspection record card is not posted or otherwise available on the work site,the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector,for failure to provide access on the date for which inspection is requested,or for deviating from plans requiring the approval of the building official. To obtain a reinspection,the applicant shall file an application therefor in writing on a form fur- nished for that purpose and pay the reinspection fee in accordance with Table 1-A or as set forth in the fee schedule adopted by the jurisdiction. In instances where reinspection fees have been assessed,no additional inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have been paid.
