54-21.2-04. Inspections
All construction or work for which a permit is required pursuant to section 11-33-18,
subsection 6 of section 40-05-02, or other similar grant of authority is subject to inspection by
the local building inspector. The governing body of a city, county, or township that elects to
administer and enforce an energy conservation standard shall adopt and enforce the state
energy conservation standards. The state energy conservation standards may be amended by
cities, counties, and townships to conform to local needs. No construction may be covered
without inspection approval, and there must be a final inspection on all buildings when
completed and ready for occupancy. The building inspector may cause any structure to be
reinspected.
