It shall be a violation of this chapter for any person, firm or corporation to install, or cause to be installed, or to alter electrical wiring for light, heat or power in or on properties of the Village of Monticello until an application for inspection has been filed with a company licensed as required under § 135-1 of this chapter. It shall be a violation of this chapter for a person, firm or corporation to connect, or cause to be connected, electrical wiring in or on properties for light, heat or power to any source of electrical energy supply prior to the issuance of a temporary certificate or a certificate of compliance by any agency licensed as stated in § 135-1 of this chapter.
