ELECTRICAL PERMITS; INSPECTIONS.

(a) Temporary Work. On applying for a permit for temporary work, a specified period of time for which wiring is to remain in service must be stated, but not exceeding ninety (90) days. Service shall be cut off at the end of this period and shall not again be connected without written permission from the Electrical Inspector. For buildings where conduit wiring is required, special permits for temporary work may be granted by the Electrical Inspector for the installation of open work and exposed wiring, lights, power for building operations, display, decorative lighting, etc., for use for a limited period subject to discontinuance and complete removal at expiration, and to condemnation and revocation within such period.

(b) Emergency Work. In emergency work, the person, firm or corporation doing or causing such work to be done shall report the same to the Electrical Inspector immediately after beginning work, and such work shall be done in accordance with the provisions of this Code.

(c) Inspection. Upon the completion of the wiring of any building and before any writing is to be hidden from view, it shall be the duly of the person, firm or corporation doing the same to notify the Electrical Inspector and he shall inspect the installation within twenty-four (24) hours of the time such notice is received. If, upon inspection, it is found that the installation is fully in compliance with this Code and does not constitute a hazard to life or property, he shall approve the same and authorize concealment of the wiring or authorize connection for the electrical service. If the installation is incomplete or not strictly in accordance with this Code, he shall issue orders to the person, firm or corporation installing the same to remove all hazards and make the necessary changes or additions within seven (7) days. No person, firm or corporation shall conceal any electric work before inspection or fail to comply with any order of the Electrical Inspector. All inspection notices shall be immediately brought to the attention of the licensed supervisor no later than seven (7) working days after final inspection has been requested.

(d) Service Inspection. The electrical system shall not be turned on in any electrical installation until a certificate of inspection has been issued by the Electrical

Inspector. However, in occupied buildings where a permit has been issued, the Electrical Inspector may authorize the installation of meters for electric service after the wiring has been inspected and approved.

(e) Rough-in Inspection. Upon acceptance of work by the Electrical Inspector, approval shall be noted on a placard posted on the premises. Until such time as this approval is posted, no work requiring inspections shall be concealed. Current shall not be turned on for any electrical installation until work has been approved. In buildings occupied or to be occupied where an electrical permit has been issued, the Electrical Inspector may authorize the installation of meters for electric service after wiring has been inspected and approved.

(f) Final Inspection. Upon the completion of any building, structure, equipment or construction for which a permit was issued and before the same is occupied or used, a final inspection shall be made by the Electrical Inspector. Until such building, structure or equipment is in compliance with all the requirements of the Electrical Code and the Wisconsin State Electrical Code and terms of the permit, no occupancy shall be maintained.

(g) Authority to Turn Off Power During Fires. The Electrical Inspector, the Chief or Assistant Chief, or other person in charge of the Fire Department, or other person so delegated, shall have the power to cause the removal of all wires and the turning off of all electrical currents where currents interfere with the work of the Fire Department during progress of a fire.

(h) Unlawful Connections. It shall be unlawful for any person to make any connection from any source or supply of electricity, or to supply electricity to any electrical equipment for which a permit is required, or which has been disconnected by the Building Inspector, authorizing the connection and use of such equipment.

(i) Notice of Unsafe Equipment. If, upon any inspection by the Electrical Inspector, any electrical equipment is found to be unsafe or dangerous to persons or Property, the person owning or using such electrical equipment shall be notified writing by the Electrical Inspector to remove or cause to be removed or to make changes or repairs as determined by the Electrical Inspector, so as to restore such electrical equipment to a safe condition. Failure to comply with such notice within the time specified in such notice shall be sufficient cause for the Electrical Inspector to disconnect or order the removal of or order the discontinuance of the electric service to said electric equipment or to cause the arrest of such person owning or using such electrical equipment.

(j) Prefabricated Structures. When prefabricated dwelling or accessory building assemblies are not readily accessible so as to permit local inspection at the building site, a third party shall make such inspection, in which case a registered electrical engineer of the State of Wisconsin or master electrician of the state in which the assembly is manufactured shall furnish a certified report of the inspection. All tests and inspection records shall be accessible to the local Electrical Inspector at all times during fabrication and erection of the building or assembly unit or such records as he may designate shall be filed with him.
