(A) Building permit.
(1) No person shall commence or proceed with the construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, removal or demolition of any building or other structure or any part thereof without a written permit therefor from the Building Inspector; provided, however, that, no building permit shall be required for work the total cost of which does not exceed $100 and which does not involve any change of the structural parts or the stairways, elevators, fire escapes or other means of egress of the building or the structure in question.

(2) In all cases of removal or demolition of a building or structure, a good and sufficient bond may be required to be posted by the property owner or by a contractor at the time of application for a permit to insure complete removal or demolition, including all rubble and debris. Failure on the part of the property owner or a contractor to completely demolish, remove and clear the premises after 30 days notice by the Building Inspector shall be cause for forfeiture of the bond.

No person shall commence or proceed with the installation, extension, alteration or general repair of any electrical wiring, devices, appliances or equipment without a written permit therefor from the Electrical Inspector; provided, however, that, no permit shall be required for minor repair work such as the replacement of lamps or the connection of portable devices to suitable receptacles which have been permanently installed; provided, further, that, no permit shall be required for the installation, alteration or repair of the electrical wiring, devices, appliances and equipment installed by or for an electrical public utility corporation for the use of the corporation in the generation, transmission, distribution or metering of electrical energy.
