§35-02 Payment of Fees for Certificates of Electrical Inspection

   (a)   All applications for a certificate of electrical inspection for electrical work filed with the Department of Buildings shall specify a completion date for such work. No certificates of electrical inspection, other than temporary certificates for electrical service, shall be issued, unless and until the required total application fee or fees therefor shall have been paid to the commissioner.

   (b)   The fees required to be paid pursuant to 27-3018(b) of the Administrative Code shall be paid as follows:

      (1)   The filing fee set forth in 27-3018, subdivision (b) of the Administrative Code shall be paid upon the filing of the application for a certificate of electrical inspection.

      (2)   (i)  The licensee shall schedule an inspection within thirty (30) days after the completion date specified on the application in accordance with procedures established by the Department. The remainder of the total fee, based upon the work listed on the application, shall be due and payable upon completion of the scheduled inspection by the Department. Upon completion of the inspection and the Department's determination that the work performed is complete and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Electrical Code and upon the Department's having received full payment of applicable fees, including any additional fee payable under paragraph (4) of this subdivision, a certificate of electrical inspection shall be issued to the licensee.

         (ii)   if the licensee fails to schedule an inspection in accordance with Department's procedures within thirty days after the completion date specified on the application for a certificate of electrical inspection, or such date as extended by the Department, or cancels a scheduled inspection appointment with less than forty-eight (48) hours notice, or cancels a scheduled inspection more than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the inspection without scheduling an alternative date in accordance with Department procedures, or fails to provide access for the scheduled inspection, or if upon inspection it is determined by the Department that the work is not complete, or the scope of the work exceeds the scope of work indicated on the application or the work is not in compliance with the Electrical Code, the remainder of the total fee shall be due and payable immediately.

      (3)   Where the remainder of the total fee is due and payable immediately, as provided in paragraph (2)(ii) above, the licensee shall continue to be required to schedule an inspection(s) in the same manner as the initial inspection until the Department determines that the work performed conforms with the scope of the work indicated on the application and is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Electrical Code. Upon such a determination and upon the Department's having received full payment of applicable fees, including any additional fee payable under paragraph (4) of this subdivision, a certificate of electrical inspection shall be issued to the licensee.

      (4)   Any additional fee, based on amendments to the original application that include additional work, must be paid prior to the issuance of a certificate of electrical inspection.
