41. (1)  The inspector, after having pointed out to the owner of any building the defects which may exist, whether in the construction of the building or in the installation and maintenance thereof, or any other defects resulting from the absence of anything required for the protection of human life, shall suggest the work which he thinks necessary, leaving however, to the owner, the choice of the changes to be made so that his establishment shall be kept in accordance with the law and regulations.

(2)  Upon receipt of the regulations adopted in virtue of this act, every person interested may call upon the inspector for the district to visit his establishment. The inspector shall point out whatever faults he may find.

(3)  If the application of the regulations necessitates a considerable change in the arrangements of the building, a delay shall be granted, proportioned to the importance of the changes deemed necessary. When such delay has elapsed, the regulations adopted in virtue of this act shall be given full effect.

(4)  The delay granted to the owner to perform his obligations shall be left to the discretion of the inspector.
