Prior to the completion of any work on any drain pipe or sewer, and except as otherwise provided in this section, the department shall inspect the work to determine its compliance with the requirements of this Code, with all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and with all other applicable laws.
It shall be unlawful for any person who constructs, repairs, adjusts, seals, cleans, lines, videotapes a main sewer, or installs any drain pipe, sewer or sewer structure to cover or otherwise complete any work on any drain pipe, sewer or sewer structure without first having requested and passed an inspection by the department; provided, however, that no inspection shall be required for rodding a drain pipe or sewer. If an inspection is not requested as required by this section, the department shall order the drain pipe, sewer or sewer structure to be uncovered so that a manual or closed circuit television inspection can be conducted by or in the presence of a department inspector.
Any person who violates this section shall be fined $200.00 for the first offense and $1,000.00 for the second and any subsequent offense. Any licensed drain layer who violates this section three or more times within any calendar year shall have his license suspended or revoked in accordance with Section 4-28-140 of this Code.
