Special Inspections - History

Since 1989, the Connecticut State Building Code has required that most building construction be subject to “Special Inspection”. After several tragic building collapses in the 1980s, notably the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City and L'Ambiance Plaza in Bridgeport , the State of CT Building Code adopted Special Inspection provisions to increase public safety by mandating a new and higher level of quality assurance during construction.
