The Chief Inspector and each of the duly appointed inspectors

approved by Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation are hereby
authorized and deputized as agents of the Town of Fishkill to make

[Amended 7-5-1983 by L.L. No. 3-1983; 9-6-1988 by L.L. No. 14-1988]
A. It shall be a violation of this chapter for any person, firm or corporation
to install or cause to be installed or to alter electrical wiring
for light, heat or power in or on properties of the Town of Fishkill
until an application for inspection has been filed with the New York
Board of Fire Underwriters or the Middle Department Inspection Agency,
Inc., or any other electrical inspection agency approved by Central
Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation.
B. It shall be a violation of this chapter for a person, firm or corporation
to connect or cause to be connected electrical writing in or on properties
for light, heat or power to any source of electrical energy supply
prior to the issuance of a temporary certificate or a certificate
of compliance by the New York Board of Fire Underwriters or the Middle
Department Inspection Agency, Inc., or any other electrical inspection
agency approved by Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation, except
that where practical difficulty in obtaining electrical wiring inspections
by the New York Board of Fire Underwriters or the Middle Department
Inspection Agency, Inc., or any other electrical inspection agency
approved by Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation can be demonstrated,
inspection and certification by a New York State licensed engineer
or architect may be accepted in lieu thereof.
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any of the
provisions of this chapter or any rule or regulation made pursuant
thereto shall be guilty of disorderly conduct and shall be a disorderly
person and, upon conviction thereof, may be punished by a fine of
not more than $250 or imprisonment not to exceed six months, or both,
and each day on which such violation continues shall constitute a
separate offense.
