The SCA routinely inspects the construction projects. The type and frequency of the inspections depend on the type and size of the project. For each inspection, a report is filed and forwarded to the Project Officer as well as others involved with the project. The PO’s task is to assure resolution of all deficiencies noted on the report. Typically, the types of inspections are:
- Safety Inspections- The SCA’s Safety Division inspectors visit every construction project to review any safety issues with contractor as well as the Project Officer. The deficiencies are noted and must be corrected within 24 to 48 hours.
- QAQC Inspections- (Quality Assurance / Quality Control)- The SCA’s Construction Inspection Division (CID) inspectors visit the construction projects to ensure work is conducted in accordance with contract specification.
- NYC Construction Codes Inspections- The SCA’s Construction Inspection (CID) and Building Code Compliance (BCC) Divisions inspectors periodically visit construction projects to assure that the work is installed in accordance with the NYC Construction Codes.
- Special / Progress and Controlled Inspections- To comply with the NYC Construction Codes Special / Progress and Controlled inspection requirements, the SCA engages independent inspection firms. (Note that the contractor is responsible to engage qualified independent inspection firms for Special / Progress / and Controlled inspections of construction involving Structural Stability and Underpinning.)
