DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS Building Inspector I is the entry level class in the building inspection series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents work with staff more experienced in application/permit issuance, plans checking, and conducting regular field inspections until such time as incumbents learn City policies and procedures and specific techniques and methods of building plan checking and inspection work. This class is alternately staffed with Building Inspector II and incumbents may advance to the higher level after gaining experience and demonstrating proficiency which meet the qualifications of the higher level class.

Building Inspector II is the journey level class of the building inspection series, fully competent and expected to perform combination inspections involving all of the specialty craft areas. Incumbents exercise independent judgment and make sound recommendations based on inspection findings. This class is distinguished from the Senior Building Inspector in that the latter is the lead/specialist class, which provides work direction and review and handles the more difficult inspection work.
