Upon the completion of any installation of electrical equipment
for which a permit has been obtained and upon the payment to the building
official of the fees required for such installation as prescribed
in part VII of this division, it shall be the duty of the licensed
electrician making the installation to notify the building official
of said completion. The building official shall inspect the installation
within forty-eight (48) hours after such notification, exclusive of
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
(2005 Code, sec. 15.3.40)
Where the installation is found to be in conformity with the
provisions of this code and all permit and inspection fees have been
paid, the licensed electrician making the installation shall be issued
a notice of conformance, which shall be placed on the equipment or
premises, authorizing the use of the installation. The building official
shall thereupon authorize the electricity supply agency to connect
the installation to the supply of electricity.
(2005 Code, sec. 15.3.41)
When any electrical equipment is to be hidden from view by the
permanent placement of parts of the building and/or equipment, the
licensed electrician installing the equipment shall notify the office
of electrical inspection and such equipment shall not be concealed
until it has been inspected and approved by the building official,
or until forty-eight (48) hours, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays,
and holidays, shall have lapsed from the time of such notification;
provided that, on large installations where the concealment of equipment
proceeds continuously, the licensed electrician installing the electrical
equipment shall give the electrical inspector due notice, and inspection
shall be made periodically during the progress of the work.
(2005 Code, sec. 15.3.42)
If, upon inspection, the installation is not found to be fully
in conformity with the provisions of this code, the electrical inspector
shall issue a notice of nonconformance and the licensed electrician
making the installation shall be notified of the defects which have
been found to exist. All defective work shall be corrected and brought
into conformity with the provisions of this code before any further
electrical work will be permitted within or on the building premises
and before the licensed electrician making the installation shall
be issued any other permits to perform any other electrical work.
(2005 Code, sec. 15.3.43)
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to
conceal or place in operation any electrical equipment which has been
disapproved or condemned by the building official unless and until
the same has been so repaired or altered that it complies with all
provisions of this code and has thereafter been approved by the building
official.
(2005 Code, sec. 15.3.44)
The building official shall have the authority to require any
person, firm or corporation to uncover any wiring or electrical equipment
which has been concealed without the knowledge or permission of the
building official.
(2005 Code, sec. 15.3.45)
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to
make connection from a supply of electricity or to supply electricity
to any electrical equipment for the installation of which a permit
is required or which has been disconnected or ordered to be disconnected
by the building official or except for private residence [sic], which
has been disconnected for any reason whatsoever, until such connection
has been authorized by the building official. In the event, however,
that electricity to a private residence has been disconnected by reason
of fire on the premises, the electrical service shall not be reconnected
until the electrical installations on the premises have been inspected
and approved by the building official.
(2005 Code, sec. 15.3.46)
The electricity supply agency shall disconnect the electrical
service to any building and/or premises except private residences
and duplex apartments each time such building or premises changes
occupants, and it shall not again supply electricity to such buildings
or premises until authorized to do so by the building official. The
owners and/or the new occupants of such buildings and/or premises
shall make application to the building official for an inspection,
which shall be made within forty-eight (48) hours, exclusive of Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays, of the time such application is made or as
soon thereafter as practicable. No charge shall be made nor fee collected
for such inspections.
(2005 Code, sec. 15.3.47)
