In Chicago, the onus for scheduling required inspections falls on contractors, per the 2022 report. Other municipalities, such as New York City, follow the same mode.
The 42 fully constructed buildings that OIG reviewed included 35 single-family homes, some of which had already been bought and sold, per the 2022 audit. None of the buildings required certificates of occupancy, per the audit, as the watchdog noted DOB ensured buildings that required such notes received the necessary inspections.
