If an inspection is recalled and earlier corrections are not done, the county marks it "Disapproved with Penalty" and charges a $105.00 fee before more inspections can be scheduled on that permit. You can ask for a supervisor or a second opinion, which the county promises by the end of the next work day; call Inspections at (702) 455-8040.
