It shall be the duty of the Chief Electrical Inspector or a deputy, when having made the inspection and given such approval, to post a notice in a conspicuous part of the building, declaring that the wiring or equipment is approved and may be covered. In interpreting this rule, on all jobs, the contractor must call in for inspection when parts of jobs are to be covered, e.g., on concrete work, partial inspection is necessary.

No person other than the Chief Electrical Inspector or his deputies shall break the seal or first close the switch without such final inspection and written permission from the Chief Electrical Inspector. A tag setting forth this offense and the penalty therefor shall be attached to the switch.
