B. Submission Of Plans:
1. The electrical inspector may require the submission and approval of plans and specifications in duplicate showing the nature and extent of the proposed work before a permit is issued. If, in the course of the work, it is found necessary to make any change from the approved plans and specifications on which a permit has been issued, amended plans and specifications shall be submitted and, if approved, a supplementary permit shall be issued to cover the change after the same conditions required to secure the original permit have been satisfied.

(1991 Code § 5-12)

D. Alteration After Inspection: It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to alter or change any wire conduit or fixture or to remove any material or fixture after inspection has been made without first obtaining a permit from the electrical inspector to do so, and the electrical inspector shall then reinspect all work altered or changed, and the same fee shall be charged as hereinabove provided for original inspections.
