If the inspector is of Long Island origin then throw him a few bucks.
They are all on the take out there :-)

Try to make heads or tails from this one.
An insurance company required a resi customer to install a motion, and
smoke in EVERY room while under construction, and then after
construction they wanted a heat in EVERY room. The guy has a 6 level
brownstone, including basement, and sub-basement. The entire house was
gutted (No windows installed at that time, and no plywood covering the
opening) but the insurance company calls for motions. Can you say false
alarm magnet? How about smokes in a dusty enviroment? And what the hell
are they thinking calling for replacement of the smokes with heats
AFTER construction?
