'Nor' inversion

Hi teachers! Please check the following sentences and let me know which is grammatical. Actually the first sentence is from the book I study (and teach) nowadays and I think this sentence is wrong.

1. He did not finish his chores nor did he homework.

2. He did not finish his chores nor did he do homework.


I also wonder if it is fine to omit comma (,) before 'nor'.


Many thanks in advance.

Both sentences are wrong. I would write:

He did not finish his chores, nor his homework.

He did not finish his chores, nor did he do his homework.
