Okay, before you request a certificate of occupancy, you get your final building inspection. I thought they were the same thing. Today we had our insulation final, and a failed final building inspection. Technically we didn't fail, it was just considered canceled. I had no idea (do I say that often?) that the grading is part of the building. So with all that digging and sealing I've been doing to the foundation, we still messed up. In the crawl space, there is a small ditch all around the edges, and on the outside we have not yet created a proper grade, so the water was sitting against the foundation and seeping in. We had a huge rain a couple of days ago, so there was water and evidence of water in places it shouldn't have been. Then just as Rob goes to crank up the backhoe, it rained for 30 minutes, and there went today. He'll try moving the dirt tomorrow, and we hope to call Friday so they can come out Tuesday for another try at the inspection. IF we pass (and I think we will) THEN we request a c.o., which I think is handled by 911 services. They make sure they can find your address, and have access to your house.
It has taken longer for us to get a final inspection than it took to build the framing...
