Board of Appeals: Travis Omopariola, Case number CBA-27-007, Public Deliberation

Baltimore County Board of Appeals public deliberation on November 10, 2026, concerning Travis Omopariola’s appeal (CBA-27-007) of the denial of an alternative electrical inspection. The board discussed whether the appeal was timely and properly perfected, including disagreement over whether a June 1 communication was a final denial or whether the July 28 letter was the final determination. Members also considered the safety and technical merits of using alternative testing in place of the standard rough-in electrical inspection, the county’s inspection procedures, and the evidence presented at the hearing.

The board voted 2–1 to grant the alternative inspection; one member opposed the request on the merits and also concluded that the appeal was not timely. Members criticized aspects of the county’s procedures and communications, but no procurement, contract award, vendor selection, or spending decision was identified.
