This chapter shall be known as "the Village Code related to
Plumbing for the Village of Tarrytown, regulating the Administration
and Enforcement of the New York State Building and Fire Code related
to plumbing, as it may be updated from time to time by the New York
State Codes Division."
The purpose of this chapter is to protect the health, safety
and welfare of the residents of the Village of Tarrytown by providing
for the licensing and regulation of the plumbing trade.
No person shall do any plumbing work on any premises in the
Village of Tarrytown unless such person shall provide proof of holding
a valid plumbing license issued by the County of Westchester.
Any person, firm or corporation doing plumbing work in the Village
of Tarrytown shall show proof of such license upon request to any
officer of the Village and shall, while opening any highway for purposes
incidental to such work and while such highway is opened, obtain a
valid street opening permit from the Village of Tarrytown. No street
or highway may be opened without first complying with all regulations
pertaining to street openings.
The fees for plumbing permits shall be as for services performed
and a permit issued pursuant to this chapter as set forth in the Village
of Tarrytown Fee Schedule, as regularly updated from time to time
by action of the Board of Trustees.
All house sewers between the building and the street line shall
be laid by a licensed plumber under the specifications set forth.
This work shall be inspected once by the inspector upon notification
by the plumber that the entire line is complete and ready for inspection,
and related excavation work may not be back-filled until such inspection
has taken place.
Any person who omits or refuses to comply with or resists, willfully
violates any of the provisions of this chapter or who obstructs or
hinders any inspector or officer in the due performance of his duty
hereunder shall be punishable for each conviction by a fine of up
to $500 per day, or by imprisonment, in case of default in payment
of the fine, for a period not exceeding 15 days. Each day the provisions
of such chapter are violated after due notice has been served upon
the offender, in writing, shall constitute a separate offense and
subject the offender to a like penalty. Such violation shall also
subject any person committing the same to a penalty in the sum of
$1,000, recoverable in a civil action brought by or on behalf of the
Village of Tarrytown. In addition, the Village may take whatever additional
actions in the nature of injunction or otherwise that is otherwise
provided for by law.
