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.

They all pass and that's the problem. They shouldn't pass, the issues should be fixed. The inspectors need to be held accountable for allowing the crap to pass. They're taking bribes or hunting trip or whatever.

And as a subcontractor, we could never get away with the crap their subs get away with.
