(A) Upon the completion of any installation of plumbing, plumbing fixtures or equipment which has been made under a permit, it shall be the duty of the person making the installation to give notice of the completion thereof to the Plumbing Inspector within 24 hours, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays or as soon thereafter as practicable, to permit the Plumbing Inspector to make inspection thereof.
(B) When a certificate of approval is issued authorizing the connection and use of a temporary installation, the certificate shall be issued to expire at a time to be stated therein and shall be revocable by the Plumbing Inspector for cause.
(C) When any plumbing equipment is to be hidden from view by the permanent placement of parts of a building or by filling with each or other material, the person installing the equipment shall notify the Plumbing Inspector and the equipment shall not be concealed until it has been inspected and approved by the Plumbing Inspector or until 24 hours, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, shall have elapsed from the time of the notification; provided, that on large installations, where the concealment of equipment proceeds continuously, the person installing the plumbing equipment shall give the Plumbing Inspector due notice and inspections shall be made periodically during the progress of the work.
(D) At regular intervals, the Plumbing Inspector may visit the premises where work may be done under annual permits and may inspect all plumbing equipment installed under a permit since the date of his or her last previous inspection, and shall issue a certificate of approval for the work as is found to be in conformity with the provisions of this chapter, after the fee required has been paid.
(E) If, upon inspection of the installation, any work is not found to be fully in conformity with the provisions of this chapter, the Plumbing Inspector shall at once deliver personally or by mail to the person, firm or corporation making the installation a written notice stating the defects which have been found to exist.
