Before connecting with the sewers, an application shall be filed and a permit shall
be issued, and the work shall be submitted to inspection and test as required for
new work as set forth in section 8-123, and portions of such work shall be uncovered or removed as may be necessary for
such purpose. The building official or his designee is permitted to use reasonable
discretion in passing minor defects in old plumbing which cannot be corrected without
removing the plumbing. Upon final approval, the certificate of the building official
will be issued, which shall state if certain minor concessions have been made. For
any reconstruction, extension or alteration of existing plumbing or drainlaying, a
permit shall be obtained as set forth in this section, provided a permit or plans
shall not be required for the removal or stoppage of leaks, or the repair of fixtures,
in which no change shall be made in the type, size or arrangement of pipes or fixtures.
When making repairs, broken parts shall be replaced with construction which is as
good as new. A permit will not be issued for additions to defective plumbing.
