Public Access to Contractors’ Inspection Records
You live in Brindleport, a coastal town in Nova Scotia, and visit the municipal building services counter before hiring a contractor to repair your front porch. A staff member, Mira Corlett, tells you the town is considering a public database of contractors’ past building inspection results, including whether problems were later corrected. Homeowners could use these records to compare contractors, but some contractors worry that people might judge their work by old problems without understanding the circumstances. Mira asks for your opinion.
