tsolanto,
As an inspector, if someone told me that he didn't do the work, Then I would require a second permit. 1 for the work that you are doing, and one for the work that another Lic. electrical contractor OR the homeowner was doing himself. I have seen this a lot and I do understand that some people can (?) do their own work. Again though, I make sure that each permit is seperate. I also try to make sure that your permit is for your job. What I mean is that when I see a signed permit by an elec. cont. and the wiring doesn't look good, I might call the contractor to ask a question to see that he is indeed doing the work on the job. I HATE it when somebody tries to do work under someone elses lic. You should make sure that the other elec. or homeowner takes a permit for their own work. If it fails, then it is their problem not yours. If they want you to fix it, then it should cost the, premium now. Because you have to remove what the other guy did, then wire it up correctly again.
