The department has the power to enter premises for purposes including inspections, interrogations, and to require the production of what?

• A. Inspections
• B. Interrogate
• C. Require the production of plumbing permits
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

The department’s enforcement authority covers on-site actions and the request for documentation to verify compliance. It can go onto premises to inspect plumbing work, to question people as part of an investigation, and it can require you to show the plumbing permits that authorize the work. Because all of these elements reflect the department’s ability to enforce rules on a site, the option that includes everything—the on-site inspections, the questioning, and the production of permits—best captures the scope of power being described. In practice, you should have the plumbing permit available when an inspector arrives, since showing it is the precise item the department can require.
