Additional services for a single building or structure may be permitted if permitted by _____.

Additional services for a single building or structure may be permitted if permitted by _____.

• A. Special permission
• B. Building permit authority
• C. Code compliance officer
• D. Utility company approval

Answer: (A)

The ability to add services to a single building hinges on approval from the authority having jurisdiction, and that approval is granted as special permission. This formal allowance is used when a unique condition or exceptional situation requires a deviation from the standard rules, and it ensures that the proposed additional services still meet safety and coordination requirements under the NEC. The building permit authority issues permits and oversees compliance, but the specific allowance for these extra services comes through special permission granted by that authority. A code compliance officer isn’t the issuing body for this kind of exception, and utility company approval isn’t the basis for code-based permission—the AHJ’s special permission is.
