The chief building official shall then make an inspection of the electric installation within 48 hours from the time of notification (exclusive of Sundays and legal holidays).

Faulty work. If the electrical wiring or installation of fixtures or equipment is found to be faulty, incorrectly or defectively installed, the chief building official shall notify the responsible person who installed such work of the changes necessary to be made in order that the work may conform to this division.
(c) 
Rectification of faulty work. The electrician shall, within 48 hours from the time of notification, make or start to make the changes ordered and shall proceed with the work until the same is completed. Upon completion thereof and payment of the reinspection fee, he shall notify the chief building official to the effect that the faulty work has been corrected. The latter shall then cause the reinspection to be made and, if said work is found to comply with this division, he shall sign the inspection card and note thereon the date of approval of the work. If the chief building official shall again find the work incorrectly installed, he shall notify the responsible electrician of the necessary changes and shall collect an additional reinspection fee. If the responsible electrician does not make the required changes within reasonable time, the chief building official shall refuse to issue to any person any further permits until said work in question is corrected and approved.

If any faulty or defective wiring or equipment is found, the electrician in charge shall be notified of the changes to be made in order to comply with this division. If such work is found to be correctly installed, the chief building official shall endorse the inspection card and shall issue an inspection certificate stating that the wiring or installation work has been installed in accordance with the provisions of this division. For each final inspection required by an electrician in charge of a job after the first has been made, a reinspection fee shall be charged.
