An approved emergency access lock box shall
be installed on the outside of all existing buildings containing 5,000
square feet or more; all existing gates that prevent access to buildings;
and all new buildings and gates that prevent access to buildings in
the Township. However, a lock box is not required to be installed
on single-family and two-family dwellings, or multifamily dwellings
which have no enclosed common areas (i.e., no lock box is required
for a multifamily dwelling which consists entirely of individual dwellings),
or agricultural buildings, or on accessory buildings related to those
dwellings or buildings.
If a building or gate would be required by § 106-1 to have an approved emergency access lock box but for the fact that the building or gate is not new, and if the building or gate is thereafter expanded or otherwise renovated or repaired in a way which requires a building permit from the Township, the building or gate shall at that time be equipped with an approved emergency access lock box.
An approved emergency access lock box is recommended
for all existing buildings in the Township that are equipped with
an automatic fire suppression system, an automatic fire detection
system, or a medical emergency alarm system and all gates that prevent
access to any building.
An approved emergency access lock box is recommended
for all buildings, structures and gates in the Township that will
require access with a key during a fire or medical emergency or any
other emergency situation.
