(a)

It shall be unlawful for any person to install, alter, or make additions to any electrical wiring, devices or equipment subject to the provisions of this article without first securing a permit therefor from the planning and development department. The permit, when issued, shall be to the applicant for the permit only and shall be for such installation as described in the application, and no deviation shall be made from the installation so described without the written approval of the planning and development department.

(b)

If an increase in the electrical work as called for in the original permit is desired, then such increase shall be considered as an addition to the original installation, and a permit must be obtained and a fee paid as is prescribed for additions in section 26-492. When an addition or alteration is made to any installation of electric work, or electrical apparatus previously in service in any such installation, together with the character of the same, shall be fully stated in the permit for such addition or alterations.
