A plumbing permit shall be required for any
new structure with plumbing being installed, and/or for remodeling
or structural additions whereby plumbing is being added, modified
or relocated.
All permits issued hereunder shall expire on
the 31st day of December of the year in which they are issued and,
upon the payment of a fee, may be renewed within 30 days preceding
such expiration. Such renewals shall be for one year from the first
day of January in each year.
The Town Clerk may refuse to issue a permit
to any person until he has received or obtained satisfactory evidence
or proof that the applicant is entitled to such permit.
The Town Clerk, after a hearing, may suspend
or revoke the permit herein provided for, for a violation by the permittee,
his agents or employees of any law or code of the State of New York
or ordinance or law of the Town of Sweden relating to the conduct
of the plumbing business.
It shall be unlawful for any person to conduct
the trade, business or calling of plumbing in the Town of Sweden unless
he shall obtain the appropriate plumbing permit. This section shall
not apply to a person or a member of his household doing repair work
on his own, provided that he has permission from the Code Enforcement
Officer to do such work, but in no event shall any person perform
work or repairs in the Sweden sanitary sewer without a special permit
from the Town.
The Town Board from time to time shall set a
schedule of plumbing permit fees, including a rate per opening, which
shall be incorporated in the Rules and Regulations for Building Control
Fees.
Any person who violates this chapter shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, subject to a fine of not more than $1,000
or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, for each violation.
Each day's continued violation shall constitute a separate additional
offense.
