Which inspection is conducted when the owner/occupant is required to obtain a permit for a special event or occupancy use?

• A. Response to a Complaint
• B. Imminent Hazard
• C. New Construction
• D. Issuance of a Permit

Answer: (D)

Inspections tied to permit issuance are conducted when a permit is required for a special event or occupancy use. This inspection verifies that the venue, occupancy type, means of egress, fire protection systems, temporary structures, and any event-specific safety measures meet code requirements before the permit is granted. It isn’t driven by a complaint, isn’t for an imminent hazard, and isn’t focused on new construction; those scenarios involve different types of inspections with other purposes.
