What is required for the permit holder to maintain during inspections?

The permit holder is required to maintain access to the structure during inspections to ensure that inspectors can thoroughly evaluate the work being completed. This access is critical for a variety of reasons, including verifying compliance with building codes, safety regulations, and the permit specifications. Without proper access, inspectors may not be able to assess whether the construction meets all regulatory requirements, which could result in delays or issues with the permit.

While maintaining financial records, a construction schedule, and a safety plan may be important aspects of project management, they do not directly facilitate the inspection process. Financial records and construction schedules could help in planning and oversight but do not provide inspectors with the necessary visibility into the physical state of the construction. Similarly, a safety plan is essential for ensuring a safe working environment, but it does not substitute for the requirement that inspectors need to access the structure to perform their duties effectively.
