Building Inspector I
The Building Inspector I is the entry-level class in the Building Inspector series that allows the incumbent to develop journey level knowledge and abilities. Initially, under immediate supervision, incumbents perform the more routine and less complex assignments within an established procedural framework, where there are minimal consequences of error, including a wide variety of code, law, regulation, and ordinance enforcement. This classification is alternatively staffed with Building Inspector II and incumbents may advance to the higher level after gaining experience and demonstrating a level of proficiency that meets the qualifications of the higher level class.
Building Inspector II
The Building Inspector II is the journey level class in the Building Inspector series in which incumbents are expected to independently, as a combination inspector, perform the full scope of assigned building inspection duties. Incumbents are responsible for performing the full range of residential, commercial, and industrial inspections, including electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and structural code compliance. The work requires independence and discretion in working with the public and in conducting field inspections, and involves a proactive implementation of applicable building codes and regulations. This class is distinguished from the next higher classification of Supervising Building Inspector in that the latter has direct supervision over lower level staff and performs more administrative work.
