City wants to inspect the interior of my home for an electrical panel upgrade. How do I stop this?

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).

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
