Jamie, I really liked the Andy Rooney Sprinkler Man. Unfortunate you have encounterd still another egomaniac in the code enforcement world. The state of Ga. has passed a new law that may put the skids to this practice. State Bill 305 , as follows:
Chapter 2 of Title 25 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to regulation of fire and other hazards to persons and property generally, is amended by adding a new Code section to read as follows: "25-2-14.2. (a) As used in this Code section, the term 'written notification' means a typed, printed, or handwritten notice citing the specific sections of the applicable codes or standards that have been violated and describing specifically where and how the design or construction is noncompliant with such codes or standards. (b) If the state fire marshal, the proper local fire marshal, state inspector, or designated code official determines that the building construction or plans for any building or structure, which are required under this chapter to meet the state minimum fire safety standards, do not comply with any such applicable codes or standards, the state fire marshal, the proper local fire marshal, state inspector, or designated code official may deny a permit or request for a certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion, as appropriate, or may issue a stop-work order for the project or any portion thereof as provided by law or rule or regulation, after giving written notification and opportunity to remedy the violation." You may have a similar law in your state. If not, maybe someone could get behind this.
