§ 1101-42. Courtesy Inspections.

1101-42.1 Program Authorization: The director is authorized to establish a program to provide courtesy inspections of existing commercial buildings. Any program so established shall provide that any person may request an inspection of an existing commercial building by submitting a complete application on forms specified by the director and by paying the required fee established pursuant to Section 1101-85 of this Chapter.
