Article 110.1 of the N.E.C. is amended by adding the following:

(a) Before any electrical construction work is started, whether the installation of new wiring or apparatus or the repairing of wiring or apparatus already in use, the person responsible for such work shall have paid for and received an electrical permit allowing such work. An application shall be filed with the building division explaining in detail the material and appliances intended to be used, replaced, or installed. Such application shall give the location of the work by street and number and shall be countersigned by the person under whose supervision it is to be done, and, if found proper and conforming with the rules and regulations contained in this article and the electrical code adopted in section 22-211, a permit shall be issued by the building division.

(b) Electrical contractors shall furnish such plans and specifications of the proposed work as may be deemed necessary by the building division before any permit for the work shall be issued.

(c) It shall be unlawful for any person to allow his or her license to be used fraudulently to obtain electrical permits for another.

(d) Electrical inspections shall be requested in a timely manner so as to permit inspection of work without removal or alteration of any part of the structure for inspection purposes.

(e) It shall be unlawful for any person to erect, install, alter, repair, add to or replace electrical equipment or installations within the city or cause or permit such to be done contrary to or in violation of any provision of the electrical code adopted in section 22-211 by reference. Any person violating any provision of this article or failing to comply with the provisions of the electrical code adopted in section 22-211 shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished as provided for in section 1-13 of the City Code.

(f) Permit fees for electrical work are as established and adopted as published by the Colorado State Electrical Board or as set forth in a schedule of fees recommended by the chief building official and approved by the city manager.

(g) Sections 22-4, 22-5, 22-6 of the City Code are to be referenced concerning lawful inspection of equipment.

(h) The building official may, in writing, suspend or revoke a permit issued under this article whenever the permit is issued in error or on the basis of incorrect information supplied or in violation of any ordinance or regulation of any provision of this article.

(i) Every permit issued shall become invalid unless the work on the site authorized by such permit is commenced within 180 days after its issuance, or if the work authorized on the site by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days after the time the work is commenced. The building official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions of time, for periods not more than 180 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated.
