All masonry or mason work placed in, upon or in connection with any building or structure in the city shall be done in accordance with the provisions of this code regulating materials, construction, alteration and inspection of such work, and no masonry or mason work shall be done, placed in or upon, or in connection with any building or structure in the city without a permit being first issued therefore by the department charged with the enforcement of the provisions of this code pertaining thereto; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall apply to any mason work being done by the city by day labor.
In every case where any masonry or mason work forms a part of the work to be done in, upon or in connection with the construction of a building or structure for which a permit is required under the provisions of this code such permit shall be issued only upon the application of a person licensed as mason contractor or employing mason as provided in this chapter, or upon an application containing a statement that all mason work on such building or structure will be performed by a properly licensed mason contractor or employing mason. In case any mason work on any such building or structure shall be performed by any contractor or employing mason not licensed as herein provided, such permit shall be revoked and the masonry work on such building or structure shall be stopped by order of the head of the department charged with the enforcement of the provisions of this code pertaining thereto, and the person performing such work and the person having such work done shall be subject to the penalty hereinafter prescribed.
It shall be unlawful for any employing mason or mason contractor licensed under the provisions of this Code, to present or otherwise use such license for the purpose of obtaining a building permit to perform mason work, when such work shall be performed by any other person or entity who is not licensed and, therefore, not authorized to perform such work. It shall be the duty of the Board of Examiners of Mason Contractors, under the authority granted under Section 2-116-140 of this Code, to investigate all allegations and instances where any licensed employing mason or mason contractor has violated any of the provisions of this section.
