No provision of this chapter or regulation adopted by authority of this chapter shall be interpreted to require that the owner of a single or two-family dwelling be licensed or registered or hold a certificate of registration and qualification to personally perform work upon his or her premises. However, this exception shall not apply to any person holding himself or herself out to the public as a building contractor, builder or one engaged in any of the building trades for profit. All such work shall be performed by the owner with the assistance of only nonpaid gratuitous help, and the work shall be done in conformity with this chapter and the rules and regulations promulgated under this chapter, and no work shall be done unless all permits, inspections and approvals required by this chapter and all other applicable Municipal ordinances are obtained.
