Default Inspector responsibility

I have an inspector coming over to sign off on the grounding job that I'm
having done. One question, when the inspector is present, is it his duty
or job to also spot other non-code or hazardous within the structure -
outside of what is being worked on?

My house undoubtedly contains numerous out of code conditions, all of
which are work in progress for me. So when he/she/it shows up can I
expect him to reserve his comments for the job at hand or will he walk
about pointing out things that need to be fixed elsewhere?


it will also depend on the personality of the individual inspector. the
electrical inspectors i have dealt with tend to have tunnel vision for
electrical work. i wouldn't worry about especially if it is existing
work.
