[Florida Code Talk] Final roof inspection

Requires a lot of information that may not be here, 1st was the flashing
incorrectly cited? Was it a code requirement? Assuming all is required,
then you may need to litigate with your roofer and/or file a complaint
with the state. If the roofer gave a false statement to the building
official, the roofer will suffer the consequences.

In my opinion, the building department is not a citizens "quality
control". If the flashing was a code requirement - the roofer must
correct; if it is an "industry standard or best practice", the inspector
can recommend its placement but cannot require it.

Ask for a meeting with the Building Official - See what he/she says to
do.

Subject: [Florida Code Talk] Final roof inspection

As representative for my church undergoing a flat roof replacement,  the

roofing contractor had several correction tags for missing counter
flashing  and 
other items.
All of a sudden without a field inspection the CBO signed off on the
job, 
when I inquired to the city they said the roofer supplied a letter
stating  the 
corrections were made.
I informed the CBO- NONE of the corrections were made, he said he  would
call 
the roofer? and may need to come to the job
 
As a building contractor I have never heard of such nonsense what is the

protocol here?
 
Thanks
 
Chris
