   (a)    No provision of this chapter shall be interpreted to require that the bona fide owner and occupant of a single-family dwelling be registered, who personally or with casual assistance, performs work upon the premises occupied or to be occupied by the owner thereof as such owner's established residence. Such owner shall be issued a certificate for such work providing he was satisfactorily qualified through an oral test given by the Department of Public Service, relating to such work. All such work shall be done in conformity with the provisions of this chapter and no work shall be done unless all certificates required by this chapter are obtained.

This exemption includes all wires, cables, meters and accessories installed on the customer's premises and owned by the local light and power company. However, the City reserves the right to have inspected the electrical installation covered by this subsection whenever the Department of Public Service feels that such inspection would be in the best interest of the public's safety and welfare.

   (c)    No provision of this chapter shall be interpreted to require an apprentice electrician to have a registration, take an examination or pay any fee before engaging in the pursuit of his trade when he is in the employ and under the direct supervision of a registered electrical contractor.
