This section applies if— the responsible person covers plumbing or drainage resulting from, or affected by, the work before an inspector has inspected the work; and the inspector inspecting the work reasonably believes the responsible person has failed to comply with section 65 .

An action notice given under subsection (2) may state different actions in relation to different parts of the work.
