I am a Code Officer in a small Borough in PA. Our Third Party Inspectors issued a Certificate of Compliance for a newly built house. The problem is that the deck was erected with 4X4 posts that are more than 32" high. They had the homeowner sign off on them and told me it was ok to issue the COO. My question is, do you think this is standard practice to have someone sign off on something like this? I feel perhaps the posts should be changed to 6X6 before the COO is issued. Can you advise please? Thank you, MaryKay Clark B.C.O.
