Just saying you are not just taking whatever they say and accepting it. Depends on jurisdiction and individual inspector as to how strictly it is enforced. Some are more reasonable than others. Letter of the law would bring the world to a halt

This little gem is in the joint email inbox. Unfortunately, now that he entered his little note, I don't think subsequent inspectors will float over it. This is the source code: Section 8-1231 - IRC Section M1503.4 Makeup air required, and it's city code now.

You are a contact on permit 19-xxxxxx An Inspection ME-CONTRACTOR CONFERENCE was completed with a result of Approved.
Inspection Comment: On site discussion about the kitchen hood: The hood planned to be installed is 700 cfm. The exception to install a 600 cfm hood will not be compliant. The maximum hood that may be installed is a 400 cfm hood. Makeup air shall be provided if the hood installed exceeds 400 cfm. *** A Mechanical Rough in inspection must be completed if a makeup air system is being installed. The Insulation inspection is being approved with this condition.
Please go to Accela Citizen Access if necessary to get inspector details.

Oh, interesting! And you're right, that's for the washer (forgot that was still visible.) The plumbing inspector didn't say anything. What's in violation on that one? I understand (for a layperson) a lot of this stuff, but I will confess that plumbing ventilation is still pretty mysterious to me.

Let's just say that my two-stepdaughters and DH's ex (we're an unusually relaxed family!) arrive the day after tomorrow for the week of Halloween, and here's what the kitchen and main bathroom look like (luckily DW#1 and one of the duaghters are in an Air BnB.) The plan of cooking 5 dozen empanadas for the Halloween helpers is in serious jeopardy:

Are you doing the empanadas yourself? I used to do those when I was in early years of my Navy years, of course that’s been 32 years ago.

That is called a provent as I am familiar with it. If it is enclosed in the wall cavity and not accesible then I am surprised they would accept it. The mechanical code for hood ventilation is being enforced rather strictly so why not that?

They work fine for the intended purpose. I would ask for it to be accesible should it ever fail

Well, that was the plan when I thought I would have my range back.

Myself meaning using Goya empanada discs. That's 90% of the job, as far as I'm concerned. (I'm baking them, even though I LOVE the fried ones.) I can make the picadillo in the electric skillet, but without an oven, I'm up the creek. I don't want to try baking at my daughter's and bringing them over, as we (and the police) close off multiple neighborhood blocks beginning at 5 pm.

We usually get a dozen or so volunteers to help with the candy, and I like to keep them fed (and carbed up for later festivities). Ah well, Trader Joe's or some such snack tray, I guess.

Wow, I learn something new every day! Even when I don't much want to, lol.

Thank you!

With everything you are up against, I’d take the easiest route available. This is only one year out of many to do it exactly as you want.
