fail electrical inspection

Hi everyone,

I just bought my first row home that was built around 1920's in Philadelphia. Planning to learn fix and flip or turn it to a rental after I stay there for a year or so.

My licensed electrician friend and his workers are helping me update the electrical wiring of the house. Electrical permit was pulled. The rough inspection was failed. After we have corrected everything on the list from the 1st inspector, the electrician requested another inspector from the same company to do the 2nd inspection. The second inspector reinspected the house like a new inspection and failed even more stuffs. The electrician said he could have a new company to do the 3rd inspection. I told him not to do that. I am afraid it will create more problem. 

How should I handle this situation? Please help!!!

Mun

@Mun Mak.

Why didn't he have the original inspector come back and look at it? Doesn't make sense.
