installation to be in conformity with the code, state statutes, rules, and, if
applicable, local ordinances, the inspector shall issue to the individual,
firm, or corporation making the installation a final approval, or certificate
of approval provided payment has been made, which authorizes the connection
into the supply of electricity.
(3)
Concealment. When a portion of the electrical installation within the
jurisdiction of an electrical inspector is to be hidden from view by the
permanent placement of parts of the building, the individual, firm, or
corporation installing the equipment shall notify the electrical inspector, and
the equipment shall not be concealed until it has been approved by the
electrical inspector. The code official and the jurisdiction shall not be
liable for expense entailed in the removal or replacement of material required
to allow inspection.
(g)
Applications and extensions. The authority having jurisdiction may grant one
180-day extension of the original permit time period of 180 days, upon
presentation of the permittee of a satisfactory reason for failure to start or
complete the work or activity authorized by the permit.
