(2) The permittee of record, whether an electrical contractor or a homeowner, shall notify the area electrical inspector when the electrical installation is ready for cover (rough-in) inspection, whether or not an inspection is subsequently performed.

(3) Whenever violations are found upon inspection, the inspector will notify the permittee verbally, with a written inspection report, or a written compliance order as to the nature of the violations.

(4) Provisional power may be removed from the installation if code violations discovered during the cover (rough-in) inspection are of such a nature to be considered an immediate threat of fire to the structure or shock hazard.
