We’re planning on doing some extensive exterior work on our house (putting in additional windows, residing, insultating). We bought the house with at least one code violation (shower in cellar), but I’m assuming there are other ones we’re not even aware of.

How vulnerable are we to being fined on interior violations during the exterior work (or at it’s completion)? In other words, do inspectors do a thorough evaluation of the whole house or do they stick to the area that the permit was for?
