When the use of any electrical equipment or its installation
is found to be dangerous to human life or property, the authority
having jurisdiction shall be empowered to have the premises disconnected
from its source of electric supply. When such equipment or installation
has been so condemned or disconnected, a notice shall be placed thereon
listing the causes for the condemnation, the disconnection, or both
and the penalty under § 80.23 for the unlawful use thereof.
Written notice of such condemnation or disconnection and the causes
therefore shall be given within 24 hours to the owners, the occupant,
or both, of such building, structure, or premises. It shall be unlawful
for any person to remove said notice, to reconnect the electric equipment
to its source of electric supply or to use or to permit to be used
electric power in any such electric equipment until such causes for
the condemnation or disconnection have been remedied to the satisfaction
of the inspection authorities.
|
Whenever any installation subject to inspection prior to use
is covered or concealed without having first been inspected, the authority
having jurisdiction shall be permitted to require that such work be
exposed for inspection. The authority having jurisdiction shall be
notified when the installation is ready for inspection and shall conduct
the inspection within 24 hours, excluding weekends.

Disconnection. Where a connection is made to an installation
that has not been inspected, as outlined in the preceding paragraphs
of this section, the supplier of electricity shall immediately report
such connection to the Chief Electrical Inspector. If, upon subsequent
inspection, it is found that the installation is not in conformity
with the provisions of Chapter 80, the Chief Electrical Inspector
shall notify the person, firm, or corporation making the installation
to rectify the defects and, if such work is not completed with 15
business days or a longer period as may be specified by the Chief
Electrical Inspector, the Chief Electrical Inspector shall have the
authority to cause the disconnection of that portion of the installation
that is not in conformity.

affect the responsibility or liability of any party owning, designing,
operating, controlling, or installing any electric equipment for damages
to persons or property caused by a defect therein, nor shall the City
of Cushing or any of its employees be held as assuming any such liability
by reason of the inspection, re-inspection, or other examination authorized.
