Who has the authority to inspect construction business records after project completion?

• A. Registrar of Contractors
• B. Department of Industrial Relations
• C. Internal Revenue Service
• D. City Clerk

Answer: (A)

The Registrar of Contractors is the authority to inspect construction business records after project completion. This office heads the Contractors State License Board and has enforcement powers over licensed contractors, including the right to review a contractor’s records to verify ongoing license compliance, insurance and bonding coverage, payroll and wage records, and other regulatory requirements even after a project is finished. The Department of Industrial Relations handles labor standards and safety, not licensing record inspections; the Internal Revenue Service handles taxes; and the City Clerk maintains municipal records, not contractor license enforcement.
