How many hours in advance must the inspection authority be notified before an inspection?

The requirement to notify the inspection authority 24 hours in advance before an inspection is established to ensure that the necessary personnel and resources are available for the inspection process. This timeframe allows the inspection authority to schedule and allocate the appropriate inspectors, ensuring that inspections are conducted efficiently and effectively. It also provides enough notice for any preparatory work that may need to be completed on the part of the inspector or the site being inspected. This standard notification period helps maintain a smooth workflow and compliance with regulatory and safety standards in Michigan.
