Published scheduling rules

  • INSPECTORS ARE REACHABLE IN TWO SHORT WINDOWS A DAY: "7:30 - 8:00 AM & 3:30 - 4:00 PM (M-TH)" and "3:00 - 3:30 PM (F)" - the Friday window is a single half hour. The inspection REQUEST hotline, (661) 286-4097, is separately described as 24-hour, so requesting and speaking are different things here. (General)
