The word "contractor" shall apply to all types of contractors,
including those for general, roofing, siding and any type of work
done in the building line, as well as for signs and billboards, demolition
work and house moving.
|
Any contractor who fails to comply with the building code in
the performance of work within the Borough shall have his/her registration
revoked by the construction official.
|
Upon application of the petitioner, the construction official
may postpone the date of the hearing for a reasonable time beyond
the ten-day period, if, in his/her judgment, the petitioner has submitted
a good and sufficient reason for the postponement.
|
After the hearing the construction official shall sustain, modify
or withdraw the notice, depending upon his/her findings as to whether
the provisions of this section and the rules and regulations adopted
pursuant thereto have been complied with. If the construction official
sustains or modifies the notice, it shall be deemed to be an order.
Any notice served pursuant to this section shall automatically become
an order if a written petition for a hearing is not filed in the office
of the construction official within 10 days after the notice is served.
|
The proceedings at the hearings, including the findings and
the decision of the construction official, shall be summarized, reduced
to writing, and entered as a matter of public record in the office
of the construction official. The record shall also include a copy
of every notice or order issued in connection with the matter. Any
person aggrieved by the decision of the construction official may
seek relief therefrom in any court of competent jurisdiction, as provided
by the laws of the state.
|
Whenever the construction official finds that an emergency exists
which requires immediate action to protect public health or safety,
(s)he may, without notice or hearing, issue an order reciting the
existence of such an emergency and requiring that such action be taken
as (s)he deems necessary to meet the emergency. Notwithstanding the
other provisions of this section, such order shall be effective immediately.
Any person to whom such order is directed shall comply therewith immediately,
but upon petition to the construction official, shall be afforded
a hearing as soon as possible. After such hearing, depending upon
his/her findings as to whether the provisions of this section and
of the rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto have been complied
with, the construction official shall continue such order in effect,
modify it or revoke it.
|
If the building is removed or demolished by the Housing Subcode
Official, (s)he shall sell the materials of such building. There shall
be credited against the cost of removal or demolition thereof, the
proceeds of any sale of such materials or any sum derived from any
contract for the removal or demolition of the building. If there are
no such credits, or if the sum total of such costs exceeds the total
of such credits, a detailed statement of the aforesaid costs and the
amount so due shall be filed with the Borough tax assessor or other
custodian of the records of tax liens and a copy thereof shall be
forthwith forwarded to the owner by certified mail. If the total of
the credits exceeds such costs, the balance remaining shall be deposited
in the Superior Court by the Housing Subcode Official, and shall be
secured in such manner as may be directed by such Court; and shall
be disbursed according to the Order or Judgment of the Court to the
persons found to be entitled thereto by final Order or Judgment of
such Court; provided that nothing in this section shall be construed
to impair or limit in any way the power of the Borough to define and
declare nuisances and to cause their removal or abatement, by summary
proceedings or otherwise. Any owner or party in interest may, within
60 days from the date of the filing of the lien certificate, proceed
in a summary manner in the Superior Court to contest the reasonableness
of the amount or the accuracy of the costs set forth in the municipal
lien certificate.
