A permit to perform electrical work in or about the home may be issued to a homeowner, provided that all work is performed by homeowner or a member of the immediate family. The Electrical Inspector, however, shall not issue such permits unless the person who is to perform the work is named in the permit and appears before the Electrical Inspector and shows by answering such questions as may be asked that said person has sufficient knowledge to properly perform such work. If it is apparent from the character of the work performed that the homeowner is not competent to perform the work under any permit issued, the Electrical Inspector may require such portion of the work in violation be changed, altered, or repaired by a licensed electrical contractor at the expense of the homeowner. A permit shall be issued without fee to such electrical contractor and the permit to the owner shall be cancelled.
