Eletrical and building permit on a current rehab, Need help.

Hello, Everybody!

I am currently in a middle of a flip in Central Tacoma, Washington.

The house is almost finished, but it was stopped due to not having an electrical permit. Wasn't aware that I needed one. All We did was added a switch to the basement.

Had an electrician come out to the house and look at the electricals, he recommended doing a MEG test, but the city of Tacoma does not allow it. The inspector is asking me to remove the dry wall, so the new wires can be exposed. Is there anything I can do?

Also, he would like me to get the building inspector out because the ceiling of the basement is too low. The ceiling was already that height when I purchase the home, I did add carpet and drywall around the area. Not sure what my next step should be. Any suggestion would be helpful.
