Los Angeles County Municipal Code Part 4 Inspection

All material used in any work done under provisions of this Division 2 shall be new, first-class material and shall conform to, and the manner of construction shall meet all the requirements prescribed by this Division 2, by the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, and by Special Provisions and Standard Plans on file in the office of the county engineer. All such work shall be approved by the county engineer before a certificate of final inspection will be issued.

(Ord. 10020 § 3 (part), 1970; Ord. 6130 Part 5 Ch. 4 § 5407, 1952.)

A.

All work done under the provisions of this Division 2 shall be subject to inspection by and shall meet the approval of the county engineer; provided, however, that approval by the county engineer shall not relieve the permittee or any other person from complying with all of the applicable provisions of the Plumbing Code set out at Title 28 of this code, and no provision of this Division 2 supersedes, affects or modifies in any way the provisions of said Plumbing Code.

B.

After the fee required by Section 20.32.120 has been paid and the permit issued, the county engineer shall inspect the construction for compliance with the requirements of this Division 2.

(Ord. 10020 § 3 (part), 1970; Ord. 8690 § 10 (part), 1964; Ord. 6130 Part 5 Ch. 4 § 5401, 1952.)

The permittee shall notify the county engineer at least 24 hours prior to the time any inspection is to be made.

(Ord. 8690 § 10 (part), 1964; Ord. 6130 Part 5 Ch. 4 § 5402, 1952.)

At the time of the inspection the permittee shall have all work uncovered and convenient, and shall give the county engineer every facility to make a thorough inspection.

(Ord. 10020 § 3 (part), 1970; Ord. 8690 § 10 (part), 1964; Ord. 6130 Part 5 Ch. 4 § 5403, 1952.)

No sewer or other facility constructed under the provisions of this Division 2 shall be placed in use until the work has been approved by the county engineer and a certificate of final inspection has been issued. Exceptions to this requirement may be made only when the work is substantially complete and has been inspected, and if the county engineer determines that the best interests of the public will be served by permitting such use prior to completion of the work.

(Ord. 10020 § 3 (part), 1970; Ord. 6130 Part 5 Ch. 4 § 5408, 1952.)

If the construction does not conform to the provisions of this Division 2, or if the permittee fails to prosecute the work with such diligence to insure its completion within the time specified, the county engineer shall notify the permittee, in writing, to comply. If the permittee fails to comply within five days after the written notice, the permit shall be suspended or revoked in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 20.36.160, 20.36.170, 20.36.180 and 20.36.2I0, and no further work shall be done by the permittee until the suspension is removed either by correction of the work or after appeal and public hearing in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 20.36.090, 20.36.100, 20.36.190 and 20.36.200.
