I have a question concerning electrical contracting in n.j. In 2008 a EC pulled a permit and before it expired which was a year for the permit the nj gov extented the permit to five years. Does this mean the contractor must wait for the customer to decide when he plans on to start up the work again? The customer has been silent since 2008, he was asked[MORE THEN ONCE] in 2009 about continuing the work and he said he would let the contractor know when he was ready. Is the EC at the discreachin of the customer as to when the work continue ?

The EC has retired and closed shop, customer and EC are even as far as money [ ruff inspection completed] is concerned.
Thanks for your posts with this.
 
I don't see that there's much you can do to re-start the job. If the customer has no $$ to pay you why push to start up the job again ? If you end up being the next EC to work on the job you'll have to go down to the town and file new permit as a "change of contractor". No fee involved - just paperwork. If you're the original EC (the one that did the rough-in and got paid for it) I would send the town a letter (on your letterhead) indicating that you are no longer the EC of record for this project. That letter will go into the project jacket. Then, in essence, there is no EC for the job and if that job mysteriously starts up again, anyone doing electrical work would be in violation. I would pass by every now and then just to make sure that's not happening. Just my 2 cents worth.

Was that the main or only reason for the gov to extend the time for the permits ? Money ?
Thanks again with help on my posts.
