Same-day fixes during the inspection: what to carry on your person

Fixing a fail while the inspector is still on site does not erase the record — the deficiency was observed — but it changes the correction story completely and sometimes the resident's risk ends that hour. The escort who can act carries a small kit on their person: batteries and a spare alarm, GFCI tester, panel screws, a closer tool, tape, a flashlight, and the work-order app ready to log the fix with before-and-after photos. Corrections made during the inspection still need the same proof as corrections made after — photo, timestamp, second set of eyes where it counts.
