Since there is danger to life and property inherent in the use of electrical
energy, this chapter is enacted to regulate the installation, repair and inspection
of wiring for electric light, heat or power, and for signal systems operating
on 50 volts or more, in or on all real property within the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson.
All electrical installations, repairs and alterations heretofore mentioned
shall be made in conformity with the requirements of the National Electrical
Code, except where the provisions of this chapter or any other local law,
ordinance or building code of the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson shall hereafter differently
prescribe, in which event compliance with the provisions of such local law,
ordinance or building code shall be recognized as proper compliance with this
chapter. The requirements of the 1959 National Electrical Code shall be known
as National Fire Protection Association, NFPA No. 70, as approved and adopted
by the American Standards Association in August 1959, and shall include any
future amendments and revisions as they become effective.
Only materials, fittings and devices tested and approved by Underwriters'
Laboratories, Inc., or other laboratories meeting the approval of the Village
Board of Trustees, shall be used.
