Editor's Note: This ordinance also provided that it shall
take effect 7-1-2009 and further provided that the failure of the
Borough to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver by
the Borough of its rights of future enforcement hereunder.
The purpose and intent of this article is to ensure that contractors
that perform home improvement contracts, as defined in the Act,[1] in the Borough are registered with the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania as required by the Act, and maintain the required liability
insurance required by the Borough Code.

Editor's Note: As indicated in the preamble to Ord. No.
2009-04, the "Act" refers to the Pennsylvania Home Improvement Consumer
Protection Act, Act of October 17, 2008, P.L. 1645, No. 132. See 73
P.S. §§ 517.1 through 517.19.
The terms "contractor" and "home improvement contract" as used
in this article shall have the same definitions as those terms have
in the Act, as amended.
All contractors that seek to perform home improvement contracts
in the Borough shall, prior to receiving a building or other permit
from the Code Enforcement Department for any home improvement contract
in the Borough, provide proof to the Borough that said contractor
is registered with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as required by
the Act, as amended. No Contractor performing a home improvement contract
in the Borough shall be required to register with the municipality,
obtain a license from the municipality or pay a fee to the municipality
to meet the requirements of this article. Any contractors not covered
by the Act, and therefore not required to register with the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, must register with the Borough and pay all applicable
fees related thereto.
[Amended 10-12-2010 by Ord. No. 2010-14, approved 10-12-2010]
Any person violating the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to the provisions detailed in Chapter 53A of the Code of the Borough of West Conshohocken.
