I believe the CBO is not acting within the scope of his job and duties. The request being made is unreasonable. It is the supervising electrician who is responsible for attesting whether the building is ready for temporary power. Full power service can only be restored after a final inspection is conducted. Some building officials and inspectors lack knowledge of architecture, and simply having a certification is not the same as undergoing the rigorous training required to be an architect. Some inspectors and CBOs assume they know everything, yet they often lack a true understanding of how a building is constructed.
