No. MC 2180; amended 1-13-1981 by Ord. No. MC 2622; 6-12-1984 by Ord. No. MC 2730]
No building or structure within the Township of Irvington may be demolished or removed unless the same is first completely exterminated in accordance with § 449-4 of this Code to rid the premises of infestation of vermin and rats. The Building Inspector shall require a certification in writing from a reputable exterminating company that it has treated the building and premises for the extermination of vermin and rats. The certification shall set forth the date on which the buildings and premises were treated, and a minimum period of seven days must elapse from the time premises were treated before a demolition permit will be issued.
Before a building or structure may be demolished or moved, the
owner or agent shall notify all utilities having service connections
within the building, such as water, electric, gas, sewer and other
connections. A permit to demolish or remove a building shall not be
issued until a release is obtained from the utilities stating that
their respective service connections and appurtenant equipment, such
as meters and regulators, have been removed or sealed and plugged
in a safe manner.
In demolishing any building or structure or part thereof, all
bricks, timbers and other parts of each story shall be lowered to
the ground immediately after displacement. The material to be removed
shall be properly wet to lay the dust incident to its removal.
Before any owner, architect, builder or contractor commences
demolishing any building or structure, such person shall:
A.
File with the Building Inspector certificates of policies of insurance
in favor of the owner and contractor for public liability in the sum
of $300,000 for personal injury and property damage with contingent
liability coverage in favor of the Township, in connection with such
operations; and
B.
Deposit with the Building Inspector a certified check payable to
the Township of Irvington in the amount of $2,500 to insure proper
performance by the contractor. In the event that the contractor fails
to repair sidewalks, curbs or streets damaged by him, or properly
place, fill or repair other damages caused by him, the Township may,
upon 10 days' written notice to the contractor, cause such damage
to be repaired and all costs thereof deducted from said deposit. Any
balance remaining shall be returned within 90 days of the completion
of all work by the Township together with an itemized statement of
work performed.
The fee for a permit for the demolition of a building or structure shall be at a rate set out in Chapter 240, Construction Codes, Uniform.
