    CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
    Building Inspector I - This is an entry-level classification in the Building Inspector series. Initially, under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine building inspection work. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult. Close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work of the positions at the Building Inspector II level but is not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercises less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

    Building Inspector II - This is a technical journey-level classification in the Building Inspector series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Building Inspector I level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.

    Building Inspector III - This advanced journey-level classification is responsible for performing the full range of routine to complex inspections of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, working independently and exercising judgment and initiative. May perform minor to complex plan reviews. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.

    Positions in the Building Inspector class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the Building Inspector II/III level are normally filled by advancement from the Building Inspector I/II level respectively; progression to the Building Inspector II/III levels is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the Building Inspector II/III levels.
