I would get an electrician to check it out. If it is a bad wiring connection in ceiling or wall it may also be getting hot and be a fire hazard. It already is a shock hazard. In my experience, electrical inspectors only get involved if extensive work is done, like replacing a service entrance. A residential electrical contractor is the place to start.
