(A) Before any person shall engage in the business of installing electrical wiring or appliances in any building or structure in the city, he or she shall first have applied for and obtained a license as an electrical contractor. This applicant shall have a minimum of five years experience.
(B) (1) This subchapter shall not require a license for performance of any kind of electrical wiring installation upon any property by the owner, or by or for public utility corporations subject to regulation by the duly constituted authorities of the Commission, and where the property is required as a part of the plant of any corporation and is so utilized in rendering its services to the public or by or for mechanical contractors installing equipment with automatic controls and requiring interwiring.
(2) Permits shall be secured, however, and all the work shall be inspected as provided hereinafter.
(3) The word “owner,” as used in this section, shall not be construed to include any contractor employed by the owner; nor shall the wording in this section be interpreted so as to abrogate or in any way modify the permit, inspection or any other sections and provisions of this subchapter; nor shall the relief from licensing provided by this section apply to a builder, developer or contractor engaged in the construction of buildings for resale.
