The Building Inspector shall make periodic inspections of all electrical wires and appliances installed within the Village, except in occupied dwellings. When such wires or appliances are found to be in a dangerous or unsafe condition, he shall notify the person owning, using, operating or installing the same to place them in a safe condition. Any person failing or refusing to complete the necessary repairs or changes within 15 days after receipt of such notice shall be subject to penalties pursuant to §§ 98-16 and 98-17 for each day that elapses after the expiration of such period; and the Inspector may order the discontinuance of electrical service to such defective wires or appliances until they have been repaired, removed or changed as directed by the Inspector, subject to the limitations of this chapter.
Wis. Stats. §§ 101.87 and 101.88 and Wis. Admin.
Code ch. Comm 5, relating to the state certification of electricians,
are adopted and by reference made a part of this chapter with the
same force and effect as though set forth in full.
An application for a permit for temporary service shall specify
a period of time for which such wiring is to remain in service. Service
shall be cut off at the end of such period and shall not again be
connected without written permission from the Building Inspector.
For buildings in which conduit wiring is required, special permits
for temporary service may be granted by the Building Inspector for
the installation of open work and exposed wiring, lights, power for
building operations, display, decorative lighting, etc., for use for
a limited period, subject to discontinuance and complete removal at
the expiration and subject to condemnation and revocation within such
period.
A.
Report. For emergency service or work, the person doing such work
or causing such work to be done shall report the same to the Building
Inspector immediately after beginning work on forms furnished by the
Inspector for such purpose; and such work shall be done in accordance
with the provisions of this chapter.
B.
Inspection fee. Any fee for inspection of such emergency service
shall be determined in each individual case by the Inspector together
with the Village Administrator.
Complaints on improper or defective electrical equipment shall
be investigated and action shall be taken. Where complaints disclose
inadequacy of electrical equipment, the Building Inspector shall notify
the owner of the premises to that effect and in writing inform such
owner as to the changes, repairs, modifications or additions necessary
for compliance with this chapter. Upon failure of the owner to comply
with the order of the Inspector within 10 days after receiving such
notice, the latter may enter upon the premises with such assistance
as may be necessary, causing the existing conditions to be corrected;
and the cost thereof shall be charged against the property and shall
be a lien thereon and shall be assessed and collected as a special
tax.
