[Amended 6-22-1982 by L.L. No. 9-1982; 3-16-2010 by L.L. No.
1-2010]
It is the intent of this chapter to prescribe
regulations, consistent with nationally recognized good practice,
for the safeguarding, to a reasonable degree, of life and property
from the hazards of fire and explosion arising from the storage, handling
and use of hazardous substances, materials and devices and from conditions
hazardous to life or property in the use or occupancy of buildings
or premises. The National Fire Protection Association shall be deemed
to be prima facie evidence of compliance with this intent, except
where this chapter is stricter.
[Amended 6-22-1982 by L.L. No. 9-1982; 3-16-2010 by L.L. No.
1-2010]
All matters within the intent of this chapter
covered in detail by this chapter shall comply with nationally recognized
good practice. The National Fire Protection Association shall be deemed
to be prima facie evidence of compliance with nationally recognized
good practice.
[Amended 12-31-1996 by L.L. No. 18-1996]
A.
The provisions of this chapter shall apply equally
to new and existing conditions, except that existing conditions not
in strict compliance with the terms of this chapter may be permitted
to continue where the exceptions do not constitute a distinct hazard
to life or property. The Chief Fire Safety Inspector shall have the
authority to grant a waiver of the existing condition upon the written
application of the person owning the installation concerned.
B.
Any waiver of existing conditions shall be based upon
the public safety being secured. The decision of the Chief Fire Safety
Inspector shall be filed with the Town Clerk, and a true copy, signed
by the Chief Fire Safety Inspector, shall be furnished the applicant.
[Added 1-23-1996 by L.L. No. 1-1996]
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section
or part of this chapter shall be adjudged by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, each adjudication shall not affect, impair
or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its
operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof
directly involved in the controversy in which said judgment shall
have been rendered.
