Speciality Contractors were first Licensed on Sep. 18. 2001. And yes I was licensed on the first day.
I was certified on the first day Ohio certified individuals to inspect 1,2,3 family buildings under the RCO.
George you are so far out there in your statements. I show you state law and you show me what one city in Ohio is doing in contradiction to Ohio law.
Seems that being in conflict with Ohio law is nothing new for them.
Mr. Parks,
Again you’re posting incorrect information and evidently your intentions are to keep attempting to mislead others with it.
Here’s some info you might want to read.
https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/legislation-summary?id=GA132-SB-255
Open the bill, scroll down to page 31, Sec. 4764.01 C
“Home inspection” means the process by which a home inspector conducts a visual
examination of the readily accessible components of a residential building for a client."
Note that it doesn’t state the age of a “residential building”, in other words, this would include a newly constructed home. 
Then scroll down to page 32 Sec. 4764.02 D
No person shall knowingly make or cause to be made any false representation concerning
a material and relevant fact relating to the person’s licensure as a home inspector.
Note that you are breaking the law by your false and misleading statements on your website.
Just giving you a heads up buddy.
FYI to all my Inspector Brothers, I have it from someone who was in the room at the time, to paraphrase, Mr. Parks attempted to have written into the law that home inspectors were not to open electric panels because they weren’t qualified/certified, needless to say his attempt was immediately shot down by the state.
Mike, I heard you’re a really nice person, I don’t understand why you continue to post flat out lies on this MB, making enemies and giving yourself a bad name in the industry. You seem to be a knowledgeable person, you should consider trying to help other home inspectors with your knowledge of facts rather than mislead them with BS.

Thanks. I am. It is not easy to be beaten up for stating facts. Think that I’m an @$$? Wait until you have to defend illegal activity.
I have said that I would like to help Home Inspectors be able to call out electrical defects. But the law needs to be changed.
As it stands, the inside of a panel is off limits. Again, if you would like me to help lobby to have a defined ‘electrical inspection’ role for HI I will.
Most of you here are smart and can read. Read Ohio law objectively
4764.01
(H) “Residential building” has the same meaning as in section 3781.06 of the Revised Code but also includes the individual dwelling units within an apartment or condominium complex containing four or more dwelling units
3781.06
(9) “Residential building” means a one-family, two-family, or three-family dwelling house, and any accessory structure incidental to that dwelling house. “Residential building” includes a one-family, two-family, or three-family dwelling house that is used as a model to promote the sale of a similar dwelling house. “Residential building” does not include an industrialized unit as defined by division (C)(3) of this section, a manufactured home as defined by division (C)(4) of this section, or a mobile home as defined by division (O) of section 4501.01 of the Revised Code.
It’s not a dwelling house until it has a C of O.
My advertising is for my ability to perform New Construction Inspections not home inspections.
The OHIB has no jurisdiction of how I advertise my OBBS certifications.
Nothing that I have posted can be disproved.
Well Mike, let’s cross that bridge, if and when it happens, then you can come here and state how you were right and I was wrong, but until then you should just let it go and let us all face the consequences of our actions.
To whom it may concern, I remove the covers of electric/service/sub panels in residential homes almost everyday and I will continue to remove them and call out any material defects that I see fit to. I also have a picture of an electric panel on my website with the cover removed so that my clients will have the impression and every expectation of me removing the covers to these panels when they hire me as a home inspector. So in stating this, I offer myself up for the panel police to come and get me. LOL

Last time I checked you were a licensed home inspector.
Like I said Mike, just giving you a heads up.
Remember, Mike, Ohio inspectors are adults and can face the consequences of their actions.
Continued rambling about who can do what is MONOTONOUS!

I appreciate that. I know that I have a bullseye on my back.
One last time. I’m not saying don’t open panels. I’m just saying by doing so you are violating the law.
I have attended OBBS training since 2002. Don’t you think that I understand the OBC and RCO definitions?
Time will tell.
Thanks Kevin
Others keep it going. I just respond. If I’m called a liar I’ll reply…

Do you need my address for service?
It’s not me fatty buddy. Relax you will get what you deserve, AND that’s not INACHI members hiring you to look @ panels.
You will be charged with a violation that is a misdemeanor though.

Charged is one thing. Proving the charge is another.
Make sure a copy is posted here for public view.
Mark thanks for the love.
Spell my name correctly DOOFUS!
Your motivation is quite transparent

Sure would like to see you Ohio inspectors get together and file ethics violation complaints to the licensing board. There is plenty of evidence of him deceiving the public and harming you collectively through his false claims right there on his website, much of it memorialized in these forums.

Why don’t you do it? Are you encouraging them to violate anti trust laws?
Why don’t you stick to Texas law and keep it out of discussing Ohio law?
