While inspecting the electrical portion of the new system, I discovered a recently installed electrical sub panel located in the garage wall, directly below the existing main electrical service panel. An electrical permit and inspection are required for the new electrical sub panel installation. We did discuss this while I was on site and to date no permit has been obtained. Section R105.1 of the Oregon Residential Specialty Code states: A permit shall be obtained through application to the building official when constructing, enlarging, altering, repairing, moving or changing the occupancy, or installing any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system regulated by this code. This requirement applies to an owner, contractor or authorized agent who constructs, enlarges, alters, repairs, moves, changes the occupancy of a building or structure; or for the purpose of erecting, installing, enlarging, altering, repairing, converting or replacing and electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system. The above code section covers electrical improvements without permits and inspections and is designed to prevent damage or hazardous conditions. Your anticipated courtesy and cooperation is appreciated. If you have any questions, you may contact me at 541-726-3665.
