B. Double Fees - Where work
for which a permit is required is started prior to obtaining a
permit, the fees specified above shall be doubled, but the payment
of such double fees shall not relieve any permits from full
compliance with the requirements of the National Electrical Code
in the execution of the work nor from any other penalties provided
by law.
C. Reinspections - A
reinspection fee may be assessed for each inspection when such
portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or
when corrections called for are not made.
This subsection is not to be interpreted
as requiring reinspection fees the first time a job is rejected
for failure to comply with the requirements of the National
Electrical Code, but as controlling the practice of calling for
inspection before the job is ready for such inspection or
reinspection.
Reinspection fees may be assessed when
the permit card is not properly posted on the work site, the
approved plans are not readily available to the inspector, for
failure to provide access on the date for which inspection is
requested, or for deviating from the approved plans requiring the
approval of the building official.
To obtain a reinspection, the applicant
shall file an application therefore in writing upon a form
furnished for that purpose, and pay the reinspection fee of
thirty dollars ($30.00).
In instances where inspection
fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will
be performed until the required fees have been paid.
D. Special Investigation Inspections
- For inspections in which no fee is specifically indicated,
$30.00 per hour will be assessed at the time of request or
issuance of the special investigation report. Exceptions to this
assessed rate include mobile home installation waiver requests and
inquiry by tenants or lessees.
E. Off Duty-Hour Inspections
- A fee of $30 per hour will be assessed when inspections are
scheduled outside the regular duty hours of weekdays from 7:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
F. Partial Inspections - A
$30 fee will be assessed for each additional inspection requested
other than those identified in the Las Cruces Building Code for
the particular type of work being permitted.
G. Revised Permits - A $30
fee will be assessed when revisions to a permit are requested.
H. Multiple Permits - A $30
fee per permit issued will be assessed when permitting separate
phases of a construction project. |
