Any plumber intending to conduct the business of plumbing in the Town
of Sweden must register personally in the office of the Town Clerk and pay
the required fee to obtain a plumber's license. A license will not be issued
until a written examination provided by the Town is satisfactorily passed
or waived, where the applicant is currently licensed in another municipality
within the county.
All licenses 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 license to any person until he
has received or obtained satisfactory evidence or proof that the applicant
is entitled to such license.
The Town Clerk, after a hearing, may suspend or revoke the license herein
provided for, for a violation by the licensee, 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 hold a license and
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 license fees
and 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.
