Unreasonable Construction Laws in Hawaii

[David M]

In some cases this is strictly CYA from inspector standpoint, Some cases a deviation from the approved plan, but in an improved way (but still an inspection "failure")

Anybody aware of how many "permitted" homes are occupied here with failed inspections yet an approved final? How? The architect of record signs off in a letter, over-riding the issues causing the failed inspection. The letter goes into the file associated with the project. County is off the hook. It's pathetic. Why have codes if they can be covered up by a letter? I have experienced this on two projects, annoying [!]
