Decision question
Does the county building official's prior issuance of a certificate of occupancy following the structural modifications that Engineer A identifies as the source of deficiency heighten or diminish Engineer A's obligation to escalate, and does it affect which authorities Engineer A must contact?
Focus
The effect of the county building official's prior issuance of a certificate of occupancy following the structural modifications on Engineer A's escalation obligation — whether the prior official endorsement heightens, diminishes, or is neutral with respect to the duty to escalate
Option1
Escalate promptly in writing to the county building official's supervisor and the fire marshal, explicitly noting that the building retains a certificate of occupancy issued after the modifications Engineer A identifies as structurally deficient, and requesting that the certificate be reviewed and the building re-inspected before continued occupancy
Option2
Direct written escalation to the same county building official who issued the certificate of occupancy, providing a written summary of the structural findings and requesting a formal re-inspection, treating the issuing official as the appropriate first-line authority for remedial action before escalating to supervisory bodies
Option3
Treat the certificate of occupancy as evidence that the county building official previously reviewed the structural modifications and found them acceptable, and defer further escalation pending a definitive structural engineering evaluation that can rebut the official's prior determination with greater certainty than a preliminary assessment provides
