The Inspector of Wires will be deemed the sole judge of what constitutes safe and proper construction and insulation of all wires. If cables or conductors, poles or fixtures used for the transmission and distribution of electric current are in an unsafe and dangerous condition, he/she shall cause the current to be shut off, if the existing defects are not remedied in a reasonable time, and such defective wires, cables or conductors shall then be treated as being dead and unused and shall be removed by the Inspector of Wires at the expense of the owner thereof.
