Building Inspector I/II is a flexibly staffed series. Building Inspector I is the entry-level class in which incumbents learn and assist in building and grading inspection, reviewing of plans, and other related permit processing work. Incumbents receive close supervision and are expected to obtain sufficient knowledge and proficiency to progress to the journey level.

Building Inspector II is the journey-level class in which incumbents independently perform residential and small commercial building and grading inspections within established guidelines. The class of Building Inspector II is distinguished from Building Inspector I by the latter’s responsibility for performing complex and difficult building and grading inspections and also by the latter’s responsibilities for acting as a lead worker and training lower level staff.
