A. The gas inspector is authorized and directed to make inspections of all gas installations and distribution systems and to enforce all the provisions of this chapter. The inspector is given the right to enter any building or premises at any reasonable time for the purpose of inspecting and can enter any building or into any property at any time when a suspected hazard to life or property may exist. No person, firm or corporation shall refuse to allow the inspector the right to inspect and if such refusal is given the inspector shall obtain a court order prior to inspection.

B. The inspector shall be required to keep a record of all inspections made and the record shall clearly state the date and findings thereof.

C. All work done under a permit shall be inspected. The permittee shall notify the inspector when work is ready for inspection, and if a test is required, the person, firm or corporation to whom the permit was issued shall furnish all tools, equipment, labor and assistance necessary for any test; if after inspection it is found that such work has complied with the provisions of this chapter, the inspector shall issue a certificate of approval and the gas shall not be turned on until the inspector has attached the certificate in a conspicuous place.

D. The inspector may cause to have any gas piping, fixture or appliance, which has been connected before approval, or which has been found to be defective or is in such condition as to endanger life or property, to be disconnected. In all such cases a notice shall be attached in a conspicuous place. The notice shall state clearly the reasons for the disconnect and it is unlawful for any person to remove the notice or to reconnect said gas piping, fixture or appliance until authorized by the inspector to do so.
