An environmental health inspector built his own inspection and plan review tools

He works in environmental health. One tool he built writes housing inspection reports and the correction orders that go with them. Another reviews septic system plans by arguing against his own review. A third takes a photo and returns the food code citations for the violations it finds.

How it works

  1. He inspects or photographs a site
  2. The tool drafts the report and correction orders
  3. Plan reviews get a devil's advocate pass
  4. Photos return matching food code citations

Why it’s worth knowing

He built the septic review to argue against him, which is a rare and honest use: an agent hired to find his own mistakes.
