Sec. 493(6). Permits—when required—who may do
electrical work.
No alterations or installations of electrical wiring or any type
of electric appliance or fixture shall be made without first obtaining
a permit therefor. Application for such permit shall be
made to the City Electrician on forms prescribed by him. Such
application shall be accompanied by such sketches and other information
as may be required by the City Manager to enable the
City officials to determine whether or not such proposed work is
in conformity with the provisions of this chapter. Upon approval
of such application the City Electrician shall issue a written
permit for such work. Only a registered electrician shall be
allowed to make any electrical installations or alterations (except
radio and antenna as provided in the preceding subsection of this
section) provided, however, that each registered electrician actually
engaged in a piece of electrical work may have one or
more helpers or apprentices directly under his supervision.
It shall be unlawful for any electrician to take out permits for
any person not in his employ.
Any electrician taking a job which has been started by another
must take out a new permit for such work and must be responsible
for the entire work.
