That's only one of the problems living in a totalitarian city. Where
I've lived, they want an inspection when a building permit is needed
but otherwise it's not needed for electrical work. There is no need
for licensed electricians, either, as long as you're doing the work
for yourself. I've added, I think, eight circuits (two 240V) for my
shop. Unfinished basements are a big advantage. ;-)


I'm surprised that any jurisdiction allows that sort of
electrical work - without inspection.
... does your home insurance company feel the same ?

If it's legal, it's legal. haven't lived in any other sort of
jurisdiction. The rule is the license is a license to work for
others.


Electrical inspections are not actually about
the tradesman or homeowner or cousin Billy-Bob
who may have done the work .. all are totally fine here.
Insurance companies have their own requirements -
also unrelated to any local " legalities ".
