Regardless of how the city found out about the new heater, it should be properly inspected at this point. There are many different kinds of water heater problems, and they can be with new heaters and new installations. A common new installation problem is reversed pipes. It is a common error made by many professionals in which the cold water that comes into the tank doesn't enter via the dip tube which is supposed to deliver the cold water to the bottom of the tank. In this mistake, the cold water comes into the tank through the top where it combines with the hot water, thus cooling it. Homeowners would not normally recognize this error and would compensate by raising the temperature to compensate for the lower water temperature, thus increasing energy bills. Anyway, this is just one common error. In any case, if the permit was pulled, she needs to get a valid one. Consider if there is a future problem with the water heater that may cause damage to the house. Her insurance company will not cover any damages caused by a heater that did not have the proper permit.
