It shall be unlawful, except as herein provided, for any person erecting any scaffolding,
putting up any sign, altering or changing any plumbing, repairing, painting or erecting
any building or structure or engaged in any manner of work, to cut, break or in any
manner interfere with arrangements of any electrical wires whatsoever, inside or outside
of any building or other place, unless and until the owner of the building or structure
or the contractor engaged in the work shall notify the building official in writing
of the necessity to do so at least 24 hours before the intended work is begun. It
shall thereupon be the duty of the building official to inspect the place where the
work is intended to be done, and if satisfied that it is necessary to do so, he shall
at once direct the owner of the wires to remove them, and upon failure on the part
of the owner to do so within 24 hours thereafter, the wires may be removed by the
contractor. (Ord. No. 4659, 5/15/10, Sec. 1)
