§ 150-156 Scope.

   The contractor's deposit account is authorized for use by electrical, mechanical and plumbing contractors who maintain a balance of money credited in their accounts in excess of the amount of the permit.

§ 150-157 How Account Operates.

   (A)   Minimum deposit. A contractor, at his option, may open a contractor's deposit account. If accepted for an account, the contractor will deposit with the Division of Building Safety the minimum sum of $100 which will be credited to his account.

   (B)   Securing a permit. To secure a permit, the contractor may either call the Building Safety Division, or come into the division and provide such information as is required (e.g., size of service, number of branch circuits, traps, remote units, and the like) on which permit charges are based.

   (C)   Verification of funds. At the time, the permit clerk will check the account ledger to ensure that the funds are available and will provide the caller with a permit number and costs. The clerk will also advise the contractor when the account is getting low, based upon a usage factor.

   (D)   Fine for insufficient funds. There will be a $10 fine assessed for all insufficient fund checks. This assessment, along with the amount of the insufficient funds, will be paid in cash to the Division of Building Safety.

§ 150-158 Deposit of Monies.

   (A)   Permits will not be issued unless there is sufficient deposit on hand to cover the requested issuance of permits. This deposit may be by mail or made in person. Penalty fees, such as reinspection fees, shall not be charged against this account.

   (B)   The monies received as deposit on the contractor's account shall be sent daily to the Customer Service Division.

   (C)   The ledger of accounts shall be closed and balanced as of the last working day of each month. Before the 15th day of the following month, a carbon (pink) copy of all permits debited against an account shall be forwarded to the contractor.
