Part 2 of this chapter shall be known and cited as the "Plumbing Code of the Village of Great Neck Estates."[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Inasmuch as the Village has accepted the applicability of the State Building Construction Code (see editor's note to chapter history), a portion of which is applicable to plumbing, and since the Village enforces the provisions of such code in place of the standards and specifications originally contained in this Ordinance No. 24, references in Part 2 of this chapter to the "Plumbing Code" or "this code" should presumably be construed as including the provisions of the State Code.
All matters concerning, affecting or relating to the installation, alteration or removal of plumbing, heating or ventilating fixtures are presumptively provided for in this chapter, except insofar as such provisions are contained in the Village Law, the Labor Law, the Building Code of the Village of Great Neck Estates[1] or the rules promulgated in accordance with the provisions of this chapter by the Board of Trustees or such agent as it may appoint for that purpose.
[1]
Editor's Note: See Part 1 of this chapter.
This code is hereby declared to be remedial and shall be construed liberally to secure the beneficial interests and purposes thereof.
No plumbing or drainage or other equipment of any building, structure or premises, so far as provided for in this code, shall be constructed or altered in the Village except in conformity with the provisions of this code. No building already erected or hereafter to be built in said Village shall be altered in any manner that would be in violation of any of the provisions of this code or any rule of the Board of Trustees or its agents made and issued thereunder.
