within twenty-four hours of such notice, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

Section 12-1906

shall not be concealed or covered until it has been inspected and approved
by the department. The Department shall have the authority to remove

inspection.

Section 12-1907

Before any property is connected to any gas supply, a certificate
that such property meets the minimum acceptable standards as prescribed

gas may be connected by the supplier prior to the certificate but the
certificate must be obtained within five (5) days of installation for con-
tinued use.

such notice or such other period of time as may be specified by the
Department.

(b)    If any gas system installed before or after the enactment of
this subtitle is found by the Director of the Department to be dangerous
to persons or property because defective or improperly used or installed,
the Director shall notify the owner or lessee of the property in writing,
setting forth the nature of such dangerous condition, and such person shall
make such changes or repairs as are necessary to put such in a safe
condition within five days or such shorter or longer period as may be
specified by the Director.

(c)    Upon failure of any person to comply with a notice issued
pursuant to this section, any permit which has been issued for the installa-
tion of such equipment shall be revoked by the Department and no connec-
tion certificate or occupancy permit shall be issued, or if such certificate
has previously been issued, it shall be revoked.
