Permit Technician Practice Test

A field correction notice informs the contractor of what?

1. Next steps for completion

2. Notice of violation

3. Optional upgrades required

4. Deadline for corrections

The correct answer is: Notice of violation

A field correction notice serves as a communication tool from the inspecting authority to inform the contractor of any violations or non-compliance issues identified during an inspection. This notice helps to ensure that the contractor is aware of specific deficiencies that need to be addressed in order to meet the required building codes or regulations. It outlines the issues that need to be corrected, providing the contractor with the necessary information to rectify problems before proceeding further with the work. In contrast, the other options do not accurately reflect the primary purpose of a field correction notice. For example, next steps for completion might refer to guidance for moving forward rather than highlighting violations. Optional upgrades required would involve enhancements that are not mandatory for compliance, while a deadline for corrections typically relates to timeline provisions rather than the notification of existing issues. Hence, the focus of a field correction notice is specifically on notifying the contractor about violations that must be addressed.
