It sure does make you wonder about the effectiveness and integrity of the
county building inspectoion pocess before a certificate of occupancy is
issued,

Sorry, but that is not their job. If the house had heat, it passed
inspection. They are interested in safety, codes met, inspections done.
They don't care if the fixtures are ugly, just that water runs and the
toilet flushes.
