110.5 Inspection requests. It shall be the duty of the holder of the building permit or their duly authorized agent to notify the building official when work is ready for inspection. The building official may require that every request for inspection be filed at least one working day before such inspection is desired. Such request may be in writing or by telephone at the option of the building official. It shall be the duty of the permit holder to provide access to and means for inspections of such work that are required by this code.

Re-inspections. A re-inspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or re-inspection when the work for which the inspection is requested is not complete or when corrections noted on previous inspection are not made.

A re-inspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or re-inspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or when corrections called for are not made. Re-inspection fees may be assessed when the inspection record card is not posted 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 was requested, or for deviating from plans requiring approval of the building official. To obtain a re-inspection, the applicant shall pay the re-inspection fee in accordance with the fee schedule established by resolution of the Algona city council. In instances where re-inspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will be performed until the re-inspection fees have been paid.
