We Just Moved Into a New home construction & I am sure thats the building inspector "Looked The Other Way" On Some Issues in Our Home. I Have No hard proof, just common sense. There are Two Major safety issues, one of Which Amounts to a 10 ft concrete Hole In The Ground In Our Backyard. (Actually, it's an Outside stairwell That Runs Parallel To An exterior wall. No railing from Preventing anyone from just walking off the lawn Into the Side of the stairwell. We are getting a railing installed, To the tune of $ 1000.) The Other One Is A laundry Which Is Simply drop a Hole in the floor behind a closet door. Again, a safety issue, Which We Have Addressed. I have 2 small Children and it angers me o That builder WAS Probably Involved in Paying off until authorized in order to save money Himself, At the risk of my kids' lives. Any ideas?

find out what the actual building code are and go from that stand point. You may be able to sue the contractor or file a claim at the BBB about the contractor. You may not be able to do anything about the building inspector. Remember, you may need a building permit one day to build a storage shed or a gazebo or something. Making that guy mad would end up undermining your plans. Ppl are vindictive.
