In addition, certain types of construction shall have continuous inspection as specified in Section 306A. Approval as a result of an inspection shall not be construed to be an approval of a violation of the provisions of this code, the technical codes or of other ordinances of the City of Pleasanton. Inspections presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of this code, the technical codes or of other ordinances of the City of Pleasanton shall not be valid. It shall be the duty of the permit applicant to cause the work to remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes. Neither the Building and Safety Official nor the City of Pleasanton shall be liable for expense entailed in the removal or replacement of any material required to allow inspection. A survey of the lot may be required by the Building and Safety Official to verify that the structure is located in accordance with the approved plans. 305A.2 Inspection Record Card. Work requiring a permit shall not be commenced until the permit holder or the agent of the permit holder shall have posted or otherwise made available an inspection record card such as to allow the Building and Safety Official conveniently to make the required entries thereon regarding inspection of the work. This card shall be maintained available by the permit holder until final approval has been granted by the Building and Safety Official. 305A.3 Inspection Requests. It shall be the duty of the person doing the work authorized by a permit to notify the Building and Safety Official that such work is ready for inspection. The Building and Safety Official may require that every request for inspection be filed at least one working day before such inspection is desired. Such request may be made electronically, in writing or by telephone at the option of the Building and Safety Official. It shall be the duty of the person requesting any inspections required either by this code or the technical codes to provide access to and means for inspection of the work. In addition to scheduled inspections required herein, the Building and Safety Official may inspect any existing building or structure for cause within the City or when requested to do so by an owner or person acting under authority of the owner.
