Title 100
Rule 13 - Requests for Inspection
Current through March 20, 2024
It is the responsibility of the installer or electrical contractor to notify the inspector at such times as the project is ready for inspection.
As used in this rule, "ready for inspection" means
(1) rough-in inspections necessary prior to the concealment of wiring, and (2) final inspections, and (3) re-inspection required by the issuance of a "correction order". The requirement of timely notification is an ongoing responsibility of the installer or electrical contractor during the entire life of the project.
Notification must be made by telephone request, email request, on-line request, or text message to the area State Electrical Inspector.
The following standardized inspection procedure applies when the inspector is unable to make contact with a property owner installing wiring pursuant to Sections 81-2121(5) and 81-2124(2) of the State Electrical Act.
(a) The inspector shall leave a doorknob notice card announcing the attempt to conduct an inspection. The notice shall contain instructions for the installer to contact the inspector to schedule an inspection appointment within thirty-days.
(b) If there is no response from the first notice, the inspector shall make an additional attempt to inspect. If the inspector is still unable to make an inspection, the inspector shall leave a second doorknob notice card at the residence. The notice shall inform the property owner of the following:
(c) The inspector shall notify the executive director that a second attempt to inspect was unsuccessful and the original application is to be kept on file to remain subject to inspection.
Failure to Request Inspection
Electrical contractors or installers failing to notify the inspector of such times as the project is ready for inspection shall be considered in violation of Rule 14 and may be guilty of a misdemeanor under § 81-2143 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes.
