A couple of months ago, I obtained a permit to upgrade my electrical panel and carried out some light remodeling tasks, such as painting, changing floors, and landscaping with new grass. However, when I requested a final inspection for my electrical panel, the city unexpectedly issued a change order for my permit, requiring an inspection of the interior of my home.
A few months earlier, the city had informed me about remodeling and construction activities being conducted without permits. The changes I made were not structural in nature and did not necessitate a permit. Consequently, the inspector closed this citation, recognizing that no major remodeling had taken place in my house. This notification initially arose due to a complaint filed by my neighbor.
I find the prospect of an interior inspection of my home, as part of the electrical panel inspection, to be an invasion of privacy. Despite being considerate of my neighbor's concerns regarding noise during the work, all renovations were conducted solely on weekdays during business hours.
How can I prevent the city from inspecting the inside of my home? Is there a way to request a different inspector? Any guidance on managing this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
(I’m based in Socal).
