4 Adopting Fees Under the Uniform
Building, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Fire Codes
This section is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the
first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of
the Uniform Fire Code or Kent City Code Chapters 13.02, Fire Codes,
13.03, Fire Suppression Systems, 13.04, Fire Hydrants, and 13.05,
Fireworks, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections
before the job is ready for such inspection or reinspection.
Reinspection fees may be assessed when the inspection record card is
not posted or otherwise available on the work site, the approved plans
are not readily available to the inspector, for failure to provide access
on the date for which inspection is requested, or for deviating from
plans requiring the approval of the building official.
To obtain a reinspection, the applicant shall file an application therefor
in writing on a form furnished for that purpose and pay the reinspection
fee for said reinspection.
In instances where reinspection fees have been assessed, no additional
inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have
been paid.
SECTION 2. Repealed. Resolution No. 1511 is hereby repealed in its
entirety on the effective date of this resolution.
