§ 16.08.140. Inspection and approvals.

A.

Upon the completion of any installation of electrical equipment that has been made under a permit other than an annual permit, it shall be the duty of the person, firm, or corporation making the installation to notify the chief building official having jurisdiction, who shall inspect the work within a reasonable time.

B.

Where the city finds the installation to be in conformity with all applicable statutes, local ordinances and other rules and regulations, the building official shall issue to the person, firm, or corporation making the installation a certificate of approval, with duplicate copy for delivery to the owner, authorizing the connection to the supply of electricity and shall send written notice of such authorization to the supplier of electric service.

C.

When any portion of the electrical installation is to be hidden from view by the permanent placement of parts of the building, the person, firm, or corporation installing the equipment shall notify the chief building official, and such equipment shall not be concealed until it has been approved by the chief building official, provided that on large installations, where the concealment of equipment proceeds continuously, the person, firm, or corporation installing the equipment shall give the chief building official due notice in advance, and inspections shall be made periodically during the progress of the work.

D.

If, upon inspection, any installation is found not to be fully in conformity with the provisions of this code, and all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations, the chief building official shall forward to the person, firm, or corporation making the installation a written notice stating the defects that have been found to exist.
