(a)
In the actual work of installing, maintaining, altering, or
repairing of any electrical conductors or equipment for which a permit
is required by this code, there shall be present and in direct supervision
a qualified electrician of the proper classification. It shall be
required that a master or sign electrician, as the case may be, be
liable and responsible for the layout and technical supervision of
any work which has required the securing of permits and a journeyman
electrician shall not supervise at the jobsite more than three (3)
unclassified workers. Should it come to the notice of the chief electrical
inspector or his assistants that such supervision and control are
not being maintained, the inspector may order the work to be discontinued
and the person to whom the permit has been issued shall discontinue
further work until proper supervision has been employed or supplied.
(b)
It shall be unlawful for any person to violate or fail to comply
with any provision of this code. Each such person deemed guilty of
a violation shall be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand
dollars ($2,000.00); provided, where such fine is for an offense for
which the state law imposes a fine, the fine imposed by the municipal
court shall be the same as the fine for each such like offense under
the state law. Each day any violation of any provision of this code
continues after due notice has been served shall constitute a separate
offense.
