Tell the inspector (nicely) that you are trying to comply with his request, but that you only want to have to do it once .... and that to make sure you meet what is required ... you need to know what the code section is and what is says - so you can read the code section and do what it says.
If the inspector does not provide the code section, go to the building department and meet with the building official, explaining that the inspector says blah-blah-blah, that you have asked the inspector for the code section so you can read it and meet what it requires, but the inspector has not provided the code section ... then ask the building official for a copy of the code section so you can comply with what it requires.
Some states require inspectors to provide code sections for any rejection, other states let inspectors 'require whatever they want' .. until challenged for a code section.
