If the inspector keeps turning up shite like this, which is why there is a lawsuit around Lafayette, that should be reason to pull their permits.
If the houses are passing the ahj inspections then those parish/city inspectors need to be held accountable as well. There is no way they are inspecting all those homes.

Some do, some don't. That's the issue with ANY non-custom, non-new homes. You are buying a completed product where any and all issues are behind drywall/siding/roofing and relying on a third party (a municipality) to ensure the work was done to code. That doesn't mean it was done well, only that it meets code. And the inspection to ensure it met code may have been done in 5 mins with the city truck running at 445pm on a Friday, or it may have been done by a hard arse with a pocket full of red tags over the course of an hour. You will never know.
And as a custom home builder, I am obviously biased in that opinion.

I used to work for a parish permit & building inspection department. This was years ago and it is probably different for each parish, but if an inspector knows the contractor there are times when things might get signed off without the inspector going out to the site. If he is busy, he might just glance at the house plans and give the thumbs up.
Not to mention, you don't know what joker.. some friend of a friend's brother they might have as building inspector. Its probably better to hire an inspector. They earn their money by finding shite wrong.

It is a rare thing indeed for the AHJ to have any liability for anything missed and given the wages paid to inspectors in every jurisdiction sanctioning or firing one is almost unheard of because it is a shitty job that pays bupkus....
