Question

You are a Project Manager managing the building of a restaurant. As the electrical wiring is being installed, you cannot find a building permit. As the Project Manager, to whom do you report this violation?

Explanation

Building permits for construction projects - including electrical work - are issued and regulated by local city (municipal) authorities (B). City building departments enforce construction codes and permit requirements within their jurisdiction. This is a local regulatory matter, not a county (C), state (D), or contractor-level (A) issue. Reporting to the construction company (A) is internal and does not address the regulatory violation. County and state authorities generally do not manage municipal building permits. The local city authority is the correct regulatory body to report the missing permit to, as they have jurisdiction over local construction compliance.
