What an inspection covers
Each inspection covers the portion of the electrical system identified in the scope of inspection on the application and certificate. The inspector examines work that is installed, visible, and accessible at the time of inspection and evaluates it for compliance with the National Electrical Code, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, applicable local codes, and, for service connections, the serving utility's specifications, as in effect on the inspection date.
Wiring and equipment outside the stated scope, or concealed or not exposed for examination, are not part of the inspection and are not covered by the certificate. The certificate reflects conditions observed on the inspection date.
