A.
Except as provided in § 57-12, no construction, reconstruction, extension, alteration or repair of any plumbing, drainage, gas appliance or equipment or any other apparatus or device regulated by this chapter or the New York Uniform Code shall be commenced unless the work has been approved by the Director pursuant to an application and such plans and drawings as may be required by the Director.
B.
In order to receive approval for proposed work, the form titled "Application
for Proposed Plumbing, Drainage or Gas Work" supplied by the Bureau
shall be completed and signed by the owner. If the owner is not a
natural person, then the application shall be signed by a person with
authority to bind the corporation, partnership, association or other
legal entity.
C.
Submitted plans and drawings shall clearly represent the work proposed
to be performed. If the application, plans and drawings comply with
the applicable requirements of the New York Uniform Code, this chapter,
all rules and regulations of the Bureau and all other applicable laws,
statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, then the Director
shall approve the application and the plans and drawing.
D.
The approved application, plans and drawings shall be stamped "APPROVED
FOR GENERAL ARRANGEMENT PER YONKERS PLUMBING AND DRAINAGE CODE — DETAILS
TO CONFORM TO NEW YORK UNIFORM FIRE PREVENTION AND BUILDING CODE AND
YONKERS FIRE AND BUILDING CODE." The stamped application, plans and
drawings shall constitute the permit from the Bureau to undertake
the work as approved.
E.
No approved work shall be commenced until the master plumber who
will do the work has signed the plumbing card prescribed and furnished
by the Bureau and the plumbing card has been filed with the Bureau.
Prior to review of any original application and accompanying plans and drawings per § 57-10, the applicant shall pay a fee of $30 to the Comptroller of the City of Yonkers.
The requirements of § 57-10 shall not be applicable to minor repairs, which shall mean repairs to an existing plumbing system, known to the trade as "jobbing." Nothing herein shall relieve any person from the duty to fully and completely comply with all applicable provisions of the New York Uniform Code, this chapter and all rules and regulations of the Bureau when undertaking such minor repairs.
No modification of approved plans or drawings shall be permitted
unless the modified plans or drawings are approved by the Director.
All work shall be performed in accordance with the approved
plans and drawings or the approved modified plans and drawings.
Upon completion of the work, the owner or agent shall file an
as-built plan showing the location of the house sewer and water main
suitably tied to two reference points. The as-built plan shall include
the points of entry into the building, the location of the tie-in
to the City sewer or water main and the location of any bends.
[Added 11-23-1993 by L.L. No. 12-1993]
No plumbing work shall commence until copies of any required
plumbing permits have been conspicuously posted immediately adjoining
the area wherein such work is to be performed. Such permits shall
be posted so as to be fully and readily visible to any government
employee authorized to inspect the site of such work.
