A. Repair work. Before any electrical wires or electrical apparatus shall be installed for lighting or power purposes or any electrical construction work done, except minor repair work, a permit therefor shall be obtained from the Electrical Inspector by a licensed electrician. "Repair work" shall mean the replacement of broken or defective sockets; snap, push or toggle switches; loose receptacles; and portable electrical appliances.
B. Electrical outlets. A permit shall be required for the installation of any electrical outlet for use on any circuit other than a low-voltage circuit. Permits shall be required for outlets, commercial electrical refrigerators, oil burners, gas burners and other electrical apparatus of a similar nature.

The application shall describe the proposed installation or work and give the location of the premises where the same is to be placed. No permit shall be issued unless satisfactory proof is furnished to the Electrical Inspector upon his request that the applicant has been employed to perform the work or installation and will be responsible for the performance thereof in the manner required by ordinance and by law or unless proof be submitted that the applicant has paid to the Electrical Inspector the fees therein required.
