Rhode Island General Laws Title 23. Health and Safety § 23-27.3-111.7. Coordination of inspections

Whenever in the enforcement of this code or another code or ordinance, the responsibility of more than one code official of the jurisdiction is involved, it shall be the duty of the code officials involved to coordinate their inspections and administrative orders as fully as practicable so that the owners and occupants of the structure shall not be subjected to visits by numerous inspectors nor multiple or conflicting orders.  Whenever an inspector from any agency or department observes an apparent or actual violation of some provision of some law ordinance or code not within the inspector's authority to enforce, the inspector shall report the findings to the code official having jurisdiction.
