The Company Officer should record the inspection data under the correct building. The Company Officer should re-open the building with the incorrect data and mark it as incomplete. The Company Officer should also record a note, so the next Officer conducting inspections will understand that this incomplete building requires an inspection and the data already entered needs to be updated.
