(A) Whenever a stage of construction activity designated in § 150.046 is reached, no person shall take any action or accomplish any additional construction activity which would substantially impede the opportunity of the Building Commissioner or his authorized representative to inspect that stage of construction activity for a period of at least 48 hours after notice of the availabil-ity for inspection has been received during business hours of the Building Commissioner or until after an inspection is made, whichever first occurs. The 48-hour period shall begin to run upon actual receipt of the notice during business hours but shall not run during any day when an inspection attempt by a representative of the Building Commissioner is unsuccessful because the work is not accessible.
(B) A person, partnership, or corporation may, however, pour a foundation four hours after notification is received in the office of the Building Commissioner. If a foundation is so poured, the remainder of the excavation must remain open for a period of 48 hours from the time when notice is received and the person, partnership, or corporation must assist an inspector in making the excavation available for proper inspection.
