No electric wiring for light, heat or power
shall be installed in a building or structure, nor shall an alteration
or extension of an electric wiring system be made, except in conformity
with the provisions of the Massachusetts Electrical Code, as amended.
Upon the filing of his report, or the report
of the person authorized by him to make the inspection, that an electric
wiring system is lawfully installed or altered, the City Electrician/Wire
Inspector shall issue a certificate.
[Amended 12-23-2008]
When not otherwise specifically stated, the
word "approved" means approved by the City Electrician/Wire Inspector.
The rules and regulations set by the National Fire Prevention Association
known as the "Massachusetts Electrical Code" shall be incorporated
into this Code as the governing law of electrical installation.
Temporary permits may be issued by the City
Electrician/Wire Inspector, at his discretion, allowing a current
to be used on certain specified circuits, or parts of an installation,
while the work of constructing, altering or repairing such system
is in progress. Temporary permits may be granted for exposed wiring
systems within or on buildings, in any or all parts of the City, and
may be renewed or canceled at the discretion of the City Electrician/Wire
Inspector.
[Added 1-8-2013]
Blanket electrical permits shall be defined as covering all
minor repair, maintenance, and fixture replacement work performed
by staff electricians employed by the permit holder on properties
owned by the permit holder that requires the issuance of a permit
and inspection under the state electrical code. Blanket electrical
permits shall not cover any electrical work that includes wiring or
rewiring, new construction, substantial renovations, service connections,
installation of new devices, panels or other similar work, nor shall
they cover work performed for permit holders by contractors not directly
employed by the permit holder. Work performed under blanket electrical
permits requires final inspection.
