California AB1308: Revises housing development inspection requirements and penalties.

California AB1308 amends the Housing Accountability Act to revise the inspection requirements for certain new residential constructions and residential additions. It mandates that building departments inspect permitted work within 10 business days. If the building department fails to inspect within this timeframe, the work is deemed compliant unless the applicant requests a private inspection. The bill also imposes fines on building departments that fail to inspect and allows for legal action by applicants or housing organizations.
