Louisville Partial Pass Inspection Follow-Up Log

“Partial Pass” is useful progress, but it is not final closeout. Louisville Metro’s official inspection guidance says an inspector provides comments about code infractions when a result is “Partial Pass” or “Corrections Needed.” The work must remain accessible for inspection until approval, and the permit holder remains responsible for requesting required inspections when the work is ready.

This guide turns a partial result into an owner follow-up log. It helps owners, operators, contractors, and project managers preserve the evidence, assign the next action, and avoid treating an intermediate inspection result as completed work.

The five-field follow-up log

Field	Record	Owner control
Inspection identity	Permit, trade, inspection type, date, and inspector/result reference	Confirm the record belongs to the correct project and scope
Open item	Each comment or correction as written	Do not collapse several issues into “fix inspection”
Responsible party	Who must investigate, correct, document, or request clarification	One open item, one accountable owner
Completion evidence	Photo, revised plan, invoice, test, permit record, or other required proof	Payment or verbal assurance is not the same as accepted evidence
Closure trigger	Reinspection, official update, final approval, or other controlling record	Defines when the item can move from open to closed

A practical status ladder

Result received: preserve the original inspection record.
Items separated: turn every comment into its own worklist row.
Scope confirmed: identify whether correction, clarification, or plan review is required.
Work documented: collect the evidence appropriate to the item.
Reinspection requested: use the current official route when the work is ready.
Official result verified: read the receiving record instead of relying on a verbal update.
Closeout preserved: keep the final approval with the permit and project records.

Four common control failures

Covering work before the required inspection is complete.
Paying a milestone as though the entire contract is closed.
Assuming a contractor’s “done” message is an official result.
Requesting another inspection without confirming which comments remain open.

What the official record does—and does not—prove

An inspection result proves the status recorded for that inspection and scope. It does not automatically prove contract completion, payment entitlement, lien release, warranty, final occupancy, every trade’s approval, or the condition of work outside the inspected scope.
