Thanks to all for responding. Please let me clarify a few items: The
commercial project has a permit, but the contractor sold his license to the
building  owner who incompetently supervised the concrete crew. The crew
placed the footer in the wrong place and obviously the owner didn't have a
clue until after the footer and slab were poured. When the block masons
pointed out the mistake, the owner had them cut off the rebar penetrating
the slab & had them build the wall in the proper location (minus the footer
and footer rebar)
The owner now is resorting to lies to cover his incompetence, but I consider
this a safety hazard and believe the building now has serious flaws and does
not meet the uplift requirements for wind loads nor safely supports the roof
trusses. As an open question to all out there who have felt the impact of
local politics,  would you just ignore the structural safety to avoid
confrontation with the boss & let this go, or require them to comply with
the code ?
