[Amended 3-13-2024 by L.L. No. 1-2024]
An active and current certificate of fire safety compliance is required to ensure compliance with all requirements of this code and the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code for all uses and occupancies of property other than one- or two-family dwellings. Such a certificate does not take the place of any other permits or certificates required by law. It shall not be transferable, and any change in the use or occupancy of premises shall require a new certificate. This provision shall not in any way prevent or otherwise restrain a Village Fire Inspector or Code Enforcement Officer from conducting inspections more often than is required by the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code.
Before a certificate of compliance may be issued, a Fire Inspector, or Deputy or Assistant Fire Inspector, shall make such inspections or tests as are necessary to assure that the provisions of this code and the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code are being complied with.
Any certificate of compliance required under the provisions of this chapter shall be issued by the Building Department upon approval of the Fire Inspector, and such certificate shall be posted or displayed in a conspicuous place on the premises.
The Village may require applicants to submit written applications supplying under affidavit such information needed for fire protection purposes as requested by the Fire Inspector and/or Fire Department.
Fees for certificates of compliance for new or changed uses and annual inspection fees payable each year for the specific uses subject to inspection by the Fire Inspector, shall be established from time to time by resolution of the Village Board.
