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 ?

Essentially same here -- homeowner can serve as the contractor on own
residence/property, just have to get the permit and inspection when
permit needed.

I generally don't bother other than when did hire contractor owing to
size of the entry-way and other work project we did last year kicked in
the need....but still did the electrical work myself.
