InterSpect© inspection
job assignments are wirelessly transmitted to RIM©
handheld computers during the night.
Inspectors sign into the RIM©
terminals
with a username and password.
Inspectors review work assignment and are permitted to
rearrange the inspection order to coincide with
changes which may occur as a result of an
inspection requirement.
Inspectors drive directly to the site of their
first inspection from their home. |
| Inspectors
select first inspection from RIM©
terminal and proceed to perform inspection. The
inspection results, along with inspector's comments,
are entered directly into RIM©
handheld computer and edited for accuracy and consistency
by InterSpect©.

When inspection is complete the results are
transmitted wirelessly to City of Houston computer system or
automatically stored for forwarding (store/forward)
in the handheld computer when the wireless link is
insufficient to support communication with City of Houston
computer.
If an inspection results in failure to comply with code, the
City of Houston computer system automatically sends an email
notice to the contractor, posts failure to an automatic voice
response system permitting the contractor to retrieve status
of inspections, and posts inspection results to the City's web
site.
InterSpect© enables
the City of Houston's Code Enforcement system to respond
appropriately and quickly. Inspection results are available
for contractor review in twenty four hours, or less.
Inspection results are placed on the Code Enforcement
Department’s web site making them available to each
contractor’s main office. InterSpect©
is designed to send an automatic email to the contractor with
inspection results. When
inspections are completed they do not require additional
documentation or data entry. Inspector simply proceeds to next inspection
location appearing on the InterSpect©
RIM©
terminal screen.
