Plans and specifications with complete descriptions of all proposed electrical work
shall be submitted to the building department at the same time application is made
for a building permit. The plans must be legibly drawn or printed to a definite scale
by a registered architect, registered engineer, general contractor, electrical contractor
or owner-occupant, two floor plans being sufficient provided they show all the proposed
electrical work. The plans shall show the outline of the total floor area, the square
feet of the building under consideration, the point at which the service connection
is to be made with the public utility or isolated plant or with another building,
the size of service and subfeeder wires, the location of service switches and center
of distribution, and the arrangement of circuits showing the number of outlets connected
thereto. The plans must be stamped "approved" by the chief building official before
the building permit or the electrical permit can be obtained and before any electrical
work can be started. All blueprints or drawings of this nature are filed in the office
of the chief building official for safekeeping and future reference.
(b)
The installation of the wiring, apparatus or equipment for light, heat or power within
or attached to any building or premises, whether for private or public use, must be
done in accordance with the plans and specifications submitted, as described in this
section. Any changes or omissions in the wiring system shown on the plans must be
made by the owner-occupant in the form of revised plans setting forth the changes
and accepting the responsibilities for the changes. The revised plans must be addressed
to the chief building official and shall be filed in his office.
