No. 3-2019]
No permit to perform any work under this chapter
shall be issued until the applicant provides satisfactory compliance
with the following requirements:
A. Certificates
of compliance with the statutory requirements for workers' compensation
and disability insurance in the State of New York.
B. Certificate
that the applicant has comprehensive general liability insurance or
comprehensive commercial liability insurance against personal injury
and property damage arising out of any of the operations of the applicant
and/or his/her or its employees pursuant to a permit issued by the
Village, which certificate names the Village of Ossining as a co-insured
or additional insured on the policy. Such insurance shall have the
following coverage: $1,000,000 per occurrence for personal injury
and property damage.
The plans and specifications upon which a permit
required by this article has been issued may be amended at any time
before the completion of the work for which the permit was sought,
provided that the application for such amendment made upon appropriate
forms shall have been filed with the Building Inspector and provided,
further, that the application to amend shall be accompanied by the
required additional fee where the proposed amendment contemplates
the installation of additional plumbing fixtures. Such amendments,
after approval, shall be deemed part of the application and included
in the permit.
The work of construction or alteration of any
plumbing or drainage shall be carried out in accordance with specifications
and drawings for which the permit required by this article was issued.
A certified copy of the approved specifications
and drawings, submitted as an application for the permit required
by this article, shall be kept at all times on the premises from the
commencement of the work to completion.
All work associated with a permit duly issued under this article
must be completed within one year from its date of issuance or such
permit shall expire and be void. A permit may be extended for an additional
period not to exceed six months upon application to the Building Department.
Permits remaining open for more than 18 months from the date of issuance
are void and a new permit must be obtained before conducting the work.
The Building Inspector may, by written notice, revoke any permit in
case of false statement or any misrepresentation as to a material
fact in the application for the permit; and thereupon all work shall
be stopped and such work shall be deemed in violation of the requirements
of this chapter and any other applicable provision of law, code or
regulation.
Ordinary repairs to plumbing and drainage systems
may be made without obtaining the permit required by this article,
but ordinary repairs shall not be construed to include cases where
new vertical lines or horizontal branches of soil, waste, vent or
leader pipes are proposed to be used.
