A domestic corporation desiring or intending to conduct the trade, business or calling of a plumber or of plumbing in the City as employing or master plumber may do so, provided that one or more officers of such corporation separately or aggregately actually hold and own at least 51% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of said corporation, and provided that each of such officers holding such percentage of the stock is the holder of a certificate of competency of such Board of the City in which it conducts or proposes to conduct the business. In case one or more officers of a corporation engaged in such business shall die, being the holder of a certificate of competency, the corporation may continue the business during the time necessarily required for the administration of the estate of such deceased officer not exceeding two years from the granting of letters, provided that one or more officers of the corporation is the holder of a certificate of competency and, together with the legal representatives of such deceased officer or officers, actually owns and holds at least 51% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of said corporation. Each and every member of said corporation holding a certificate of competency shall comply with all the rules and regulations applicable to master or employing plumbers. Such corporation shall register as provided in §
138-59.
Every employing or master plumber carrying on
his trade, business or calling in the City shall register his name
and address at the office of the Plumbing Inspector under such rules
as the Examining Board of Plumbers shall prescribe, and thereupon
he shall be entitled to receive a certificate of such registration;
provided, however, that such employing or master plumber shall, at
the time of applying for such registration, hold a certificate of
competency from an examining Board of Plumbers.
Any and all certificates of competency heretofore
issued or certificates of registration heretofore issued or metal
plates heretofore issued to qualified persons engaged in the trade,
business or calling of a plumber or of plumbing as employing or master
plumber shall remain in full force and effect until terminated, suspended
or revoked pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
