Nonconformance reports are meant to trigger prompt, accountable corrective action and to document what happened and how it will be fixed. The inspector’s report should go to the party responsible for the work—the contractor—so they can immediately address the deficiency, and to the inspector’s supervisor so that there’s an oversight chain that can verify the action is taken and the issue is resolved. This pairing keeps the remediation process clear and traceable. Ownership and regulatory bodies have their own roles, but they aren’t the default recipients of every nonconformance report. The owner should be kept informed through appropriate project communications, and safety or regulatory concerns that involve code compliance or safety hazards may require notifying the Safety Officer or the City Building Department, but the immediate recipients for driving corrective action are the contractor and the inspector’s supervisor.
