What is the proper procedure when DLI cannot make an inspection, what happens?
Minnesota Rules, part 4715.2810, states in part: If the proper administrative authority does not appear for an inspection within 24 hours [three working days] of the time set, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, the inspection or test shall be deemed to have been made, and the plumbing contractor is required to file an affidavit with the proper administrative authority that the work was installed in accordance with the code, the approved plans and permit, and that it was free from defects and that the required tests had been made and the system found free from leaks; also whether the owner or the owners authorized agent was present when such inspection or test was made. If an inspector visits the site after the 24 hour time period [three working days] and observes non-complying installation, a correction order can still be written requesting compliance. Go to top.
