  • (a)

    It shall be the duty of the electrical inspector, either personally or by assistants, to inspect all electrical work during the progress of such work, as well as when it is completed; such inspection shall be made from time to time and must be thorough and complete.

    (b)

    Inspection notices, upon blanks furnished by the electrical inspector, shall be filed in the office of the electrical inspector by each person doing electrical work, giving notice to the electrical inspector of the location, kind of work, and time when the work will be ready for inspection. The work involved will be inspected as soon as possible thereafter. When the work has been completed, the electrician must immediately so notify the electrical inspector. At the time the final inspection is made, the electrician or his designated representative must be present. No electrical work may be covered until the necessary inspection has been made. It shall be unlawful for any person to fail to comply with the foregoing procedure. Upon final inspection, if the electrical inspector determines the work and material to be in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, a certificate of final inspection shall be issued, certifying that the work has been done in accordance with the laws of the city. If the electrical inspector finds that any electrical work has not been properly installed, or does not comply with the electrical code of the city, the inspector shall so notify the owner, agent or lessee of such property, and upon notice so to do, the owner, agent or lessee shall make such changes and corrections in the electrical work as may be ordered by the electrical inspector; failure to make such changes within five (5) days after notice so to do shall subject the owner, agent or lessee to punishment as prescribed for a violation of this Code. In addition, if the necessary corrections are not made, the city may refuse to furnish service to the premises.
