  • No person shall construct, reconstruct, extend, alter or repair any plumbing work or building drainage, or construct cesspools, or construct, reconstruct or connect any building drainage with cesspools, legal drainage terminal or the sewer system of the city, either directly or indirectly, until such person shall have first obtained a license from the city to do such work. No holder of any such plumber's license shall allow said licensee's name to be used by any other person or persons either for the purpose of doing plumbing work or obtaining a permit therefor, nor cause or permit any person in the licensee's employ to do or perform any plumbing work for the licensee without such employee having first obtained a certificate of competency as required by Chapter 278, Article I of this Code. Violation of these provisions by any such licensee shall be deemed good and sufficient cause for the revocation of the plumber's license, and the building official is authorized to refuse to issue further permits to any licensee so violating said provisions. No person shall display any sign stating or implying that such person is a licensed plumber, unless such is a fact, or any sign stating or implying such that person is carrying on the business of plumbing unless such person is duly licensed to do so, as provided by this Code. No owner or lessee, nor any representative or agent of any owner or lessee, shall knowingly hire or otherwise engage any unlicensed person to do any plumbing work in any building in the city.
