C ONSTRUCTION A DMINISTRATIVE C ODE§ 5-8-2 (2) Non-residential installations. In non-residential installations, no framing, electrical wiring, plumbing or mechanical ducts or equipment shall be covered or concealed until two working days have expired after the scheduled inspection or until the authority having jurisdiction has approved the installation, and given permission to cover or conceal the same. If the permitted work is covered or concealed without inspection, the contractor will provide verification that the concealed work complies with all the provisions of the construction code. Should the authority having jurisdiction condemn any of said work or equipment as not being in accordance with the provisions of the construction code, notice in writing to that effect shall be given to the person doing the work authorized by the permit or posted at the job site. (c) After inspection, if the authority having jurisdiction finds that the work does not conform in all respects with the provisions of the construction code, the work or equipment shall be altered or removed as required, and necessary changes shall be made so that all such work and equipment fully complies with the provisions of this code. These changes shall be completed within a reasonable amount of time thereafter. Further work may not be connected on or with the condemned work or equipment until these changes are made. (d) In default, the contractor or owner-builder shall be liable for the penalties provided in the construction code, resulting from violations of this article. Further, any and every owner, contractor, or other person engaged in construction of the building or structure, or otherwise, covering or allowing to be covered such portion of work or equipment, or removing any notice not to cover same placed thereon by the authority having jurisdiction shall likewise be liable for the penalties provided in the construction code.
