An application for an operating permit shall
be in writing on a form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the
Building Inspector. Such application shall include such information
as the Building Inspector deems sufficient to permit a determination
that quantities, materials, and activities conform to the requirements
of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. If
the Building Inspector determines that tests or reports are necessary
to verify conformance, such tests or reports shall be performed or
provided by such person or persons as may be designated by or otherwise
acceptable to the Building Inspector, at the expense of the applicant.
The Building Inspector, Fire Inspector, or their
designees shall inspect the subject premises prior to the issuance
of an operating permit.
In any circumstance in which more than one activity listed in § 143-11 is to be conducted at a location, the Building Inspector may require a separate operating permit for each activity or may, in his/her discretion, issue a single operating permit to apply to all such activities.
Operating permits shall be issued for such period
of time, not to exceed one year in the case of any operating permit
issued for an area of public assembly and not to exceed three years
in any other case, as shall be determined by the Building Inspector
to be consistent with local conditions. The effective period of each
operating permit shall be specified in the operating permit. An operating
permit may be reissued or renewed upon application to the Building
Inspector, payment of the applicable fee, and approval of such application
by the Building Inspector.
If the Building Inspector determines that any
activity or building for which an operating permit was issued does
not comply with any applicable provision of the New York State Uniform
Fire Prevention and Building Code, the Building Inspector shall revoke
or suspend the operating permit.
An application for an operating permit or for
renewal or reissuance of an operating permit shall be accompanied
by a fee to be determined by the Village Board by resolution and set
in the fee schedule.
