We contacted our electricity provider to have power turned on and they explained that since the space had not been occupied in over a year that we would need an electrical inspection and possibly a fire marshal inspection to have the power turn back on. As we understand it, this is not a building permit application, but rather to have an electrical inspector check the existing electrical service before power is turned back on. | O Mike McAfeeA Mike McAfeeC N/A |
