which the permit is applied for.
Plumbing permits will only be issued to licensed plumbers,
except as allowed by the Illinois Plumbing License Law (225 ILCS
320/3 from Ch. 111, Par. 1103) Sec. 3(2), which states (in part):
"Nothing herein contained shall prohibit the owner
occupant or lessee occupant of a single family residence, or
the owner of a single family residence under construction for
his or her occupancy, from planning, installing, altering or
repairing the plumbing system of such residence, provided that
(i) such plumbing shall comply with the minimum standards for
plumbing contained in the Illinois State Plumbing Code, and
shall be subject to inspection by the Department or the local
governmental unit if it retains a licensed plumber as an
inspector; and )ii) such owner, owner occupant or lessee
occupant shall not employ other than a plumber 1'icensed
pursuant to this Act to assist him or her.
12
For purposes of this subsection, a person shall be
considered an "occupant" if and only if he or she has taken
possession of and is living in the premises as his or her bona
fide sole and exclusive residence, or, in the case of an owner
of a single family residence under construction for his or her
occupancy, he or she expects to take possession of and live in
the premises as his or her bona fide sole and exclusive
residence, and he or she has a current intention to live in
such premises as his or her bona fide sole and exclusive
residence for a period of not less than 6 months after the
completion of the plumbing work performed pursuant to the
authorization of this subsection, or, in the case of an owner
of a single family residence under construction for his or her
occupancy, for a period of not less than 6 months after the
completion of construction of the residence. Failure to
possess and live in the premises as a sole and exclusive
residence for a period of 6 months or more shall create a
rebuttable presumption of a lack of such intention."

13
character be list, impaired or affected by this Ordinance.
This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and
after its passage, approval and publication in the manner provided
