Answer 1

Expert witness for the Plaintiff, Defendant, or possibly appointed by the court. Contact local Bar Association, major Insurance company's legal dept, also doing free lance liability audits for private company's to reduce exposure for lawsuits (employees and customers). Risk Assessment Consultant. (sounds good & offcial) Nursing homes, private schools, Department Stores, Home Centers, Home Owners Associations for their clients' proprieties. There are endless possibilities nobody thinks about the home chemicals on the bottom shelf across from the toy aisle at the dollar store. Think SAVE LIVES if one LIFE is saved, could be or has been you can justify your fee. Don't be GREEDY! Do a good job for a fair price and your clients' will do your advertising for you. New clients' will search you out.

Answer 2

Code enforcement officers are there to keep everyone in the neighbourhood happy. There are guidelines for every neighbourhood. That is why he was wanting to know where you live. So he could look up the rules and guidelines for your neighbourhood to see if you could have some chickens. I don't think he was coming to your house. Maybe, if you cooperate, just maybe, he can look up your rules and guidelines, and over look the no chicken policy.

Answer 3

Home inspector...for presales.
Insurance industry consultant.
Here's a new one I wondering existed....a pre inspection consultant for new construction....they would check the building process before the code people came so the inspection runs smoother.
