Notification of deficiencies to the AHJ is a slippery slope for contractors. State required tagging and notification to AHJ takes the heat off the messenger
-----Original Message----- From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roland Huggins Sent: Friday, November 07, 2014 1:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Hydraulic Placard A starting point is to identify that it is a non-critical deficiency (along with the categories for any other deficiencies). Then the owner can prioritize what is to be fixed and when. If we could get some owners to just fix the impairments, we’d be a long way down the road. The discussion obviously will be different when the state requires tagging and notification of the AHJ. What do you guys and gals see in these states on what to bring to the AHJ’s attention?
