(A) Permit for wiring required. No alteration or change shall be made in the wiring or appliances in any building, nor any wires or appliances be installed in any building for use in connection with electric lights, motors, or heating devices, without first securing from the Electrical Inspector a permit therefor, nor shall any change be made in any wiring or appliances after inspection without notifying the Electrical Inspector, and securing a permit therefor, except minor repair work such as repairing flush and snap switches, replacing fuses, changing lamp sockets and receptacles, taping bare joints, and repairing drop cords. Applications for such permit, describing such work, shall be made by the person installing the same, and the permit, when issued, shall be to such applicant. This section shall not apply to maintenance and repairs on the premises of a person regularly employing journeyman electricians for that purpose. No deviation shall be made in the details for wiring or appliances as shown by application without permission from the Electrical Inspector in writing.
(B) Posting. The electrical construction permit shall be posted by the person installing the work in a conspicuous place on the building or premises where the work is being performed, and shall be maintained by such person in such place until the work has been completed and final approval thereof by the Electrical Inspector has been obtained.
(C) Expiration; renewal. A construction permit issued under provisions of this section shall become null and void if the work is not commenced within six months from the date of issuance of the permit or shall be abandoned for a period of 120 days. Renewal of an expired permit for identical work shall be obtained before work is recommenced, and the renewal fee therefor shall be the minimum amount required for a new permit.
(D) Revocation. The Electrical Inspector may, in writing, revoke a permit which has been issued under the provisions of this section whenever the permit has been issued in reliance upon a misrepresentation of work proposed or incorrect information supplied by the applicant, or in violation of the provisions of this section.
(E) Work; conformance. All work done by the holder of such a permit shall conform to the plans and specifications therefor which are included in the approved application unless the Electrical Inspector shall in writing consent to a deviation from such plans or specifications.
