1444.04 EXCEPTION FOR HOMEOWNERS.
   No provision of this chapter or regulation adopted by authority of this chapter shall be interpreted to require that the owner of a single or two-family dwelling shall be licensed or registered or hold a certificate of registration to personally perform work upon the premises, provided, however, that this exception shall not apply to any person holding himself out to the public as a building contractor, builder or one engaged in any of the building trades for profit. All such work shall be performed by the owner with the assistance only of nonpaid gratuitous help, and the work shall be done in conformity with the provisions of this chapter and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and no work shall be done unless all permits, inspections and approvals required by this chapter and all other applicable municipal ordinances are secured.
