An inspection report must contain the:

• A. construction classification.
• B. complete floor plans.
• C. date of inspection.
• D. department's ability to handle a fire.

Answer: (C)

The essential thing being tested is that a formal inspection report must document when the inspection occurred. The date of inspection anchors the findings in time, allowing for accountability, traceability, and comparison with prior or follow-up reports. It helps enforce timelines, verify that the inspection happened in the appropriate period, and supports record-keeping for both the owner and the authority having jurisdiction. Other items—such as construction classification, complete floor plans, or the department’s ability to handle a fire—are not standard, time-stamped elements of an inspection report. Construction classification belongs in building documentation, floor plans aren’t typically required in an inspection report, and departmental capability is broader than the report’s basic content.
