2005 Maine Code - §2353 — Duty to inspect buildings under construction

    The inspector of buildings shall inspect each new building during the process of construction, so far as may be necessary, to see that all proper safeguards against the catching or spreading of fire are used, that the chimneys and flues are made safe and that proper cutoffs are placed between the timbers in the walls and floorings where fire would be likely to spread, and may give such directions in writing to the owner or contractor, as he deems necessary, concerning the construction of such building so as to render the same safe from the catching and spreading of fire.
