Notice in writing shall be given to the registrant of any noncompliance with or violation of the provisions of these Electrical Regulations discovered by the Building Commissioner or his duly authorized inspectors and the registrant shall remedy or cause to be corrected the noncompliances or violations within five days after the receipt of the notice. Failure to conform with the orders of the Commissioner or his duly authorized inspectors shall result in the suspension or revocation of the registrant's certificate or prosecution according to Section 1531.99, or both.
(Ord. 377-46. Passed 7-15-46.)
A registrant whose certificate has been suspended or revoked may appeal such order of suspension or revocation to the Board of Building Appeals and the appellant may be represented by counsel at his own expense.

The appeal shall be made in writing and filed with the secretary of the Board within five days after receipt of the notice or order.
No alterations, additions or extensions shall be made in any electrical installation without first obtaining a permit from the Chief Electrical Inspector and submitting the same for inspection in the manner provided for new work.
The Chief Electrical Inspector is hereby authorized to refuse to issue a permit for any addition or extension to any wiring system in or on any building where, in his estimation, the wiring is in an unsafe condition. If, after a permit is issued, the work covered by the permit, or any old work in the building not covered by the permit, is found, for any reason, to be in an unsafe condition, the Chief Electrical Inspector may refuse to issue a certificate of approval and the owner of the building or the occupants thereof and all electric light and power companies shall be notified not to have connections made nor to connect to any building without having such certificate of approval or written permission from the Chief Electrical Inspector. If these additions and alterations have been made to an installation already connected, then all owners of buildings or occupants thereof and all electric light and power companies shall disconnect their service immediately upon notice to do so.
