We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Create a Reinspection

  • Updated:

The CivicGov system provides a process to link multiple inspections together. This allows you to track the status of a 'failed' inspection through as many inspections as authorized until the failure is rectified. This process is used in the permitting, violation, complaint, and fire/safety modules.

 

By default, the system only displays the Re-inspect link for inspections with a status of failed. However, there is a setup item that can be activated to allow the reinspect option on inspections that have a status of pass. This is used mostly for large-scale commercial project inspections where you may have to inspect portions of an inspection type such as framing. The contractor, if allowed locally, may request inspections on the first 100 or so feet of framing. This allows them to continue on with other steps of construction while framing is still going on in other areas of the building.

 

Once the staff member clicks on the 're-inspect' link, the system will generate a new inspection record that is directly linked to the failed inspection. The system carries over any comments and also any checklist items and notes from the original inspections. The re-inspection will become the controlling record. This means that you will not be able to change the controlling record until the re-inspection is completed. You are also prevented from deleting the original inspection record that is attached to a re-inspection.
