(Ord. 2-01. Passed 1-16-01.)
No person shall maintain, alter or repair any electrical wiring, devices, appliances or equipment unless such person shall first obtain a permit from the Electrical Inspection Department, or unless such person, or the work involved, is specifically exempted by this Electrical Code. Work for which a permit has been obtained must be commenced within six months or such permit shall become null and void.
