Any person who commences any electrical work for which a permit is required, without first having obtained such permit shall be subject to a fee established by the Building Official. Such fee shall be in addition to the required permit fee and plan review fee. This provision shall not apply to emergency work when it is proved to the satisfaction of the Building Official that the work was urgently necessary and that it was not practical to obtain the required permit before commencement of the emergency work. In all such emergency cases, a permit must be obtained as soon as it is practical to do so. If there is an unreasonable delay in obtaining such permit, the applicable fees shall be charged, notwithstanding the earlier emergency.
