The title of this Part 2 shall be the "Village
of Airmont Fire Prevention Code" (hereafter referred to as "this Part
2").
The provisions of this Part 2 shall apply equally
to new and existing conditions, except for the requirements for sprinkler
and fire alarm systems in existing premises. When existing premises
are renovated, converted, or added to, and the cost of such addition,
conversion, or renovation equals or exceeds 50% of the replacement
cost of the premises, such premises shall be brought into full compliance
with all provisions of this Part 2. Existing conditions not in strict
compliance with the terms of this Part 2 may be permitted to continue
where the exceptions do not constitute a distinct hazard to life or
property. The Board of Appeals shall have the authority to grant a
waiver for the existing condition upon the written application of
the person owning the installation concerned.
Whenever a provision of this Part 2 imposes
or prescribes any greater requirement or higher standard on premises,
buildings or structures, or on the use thereof, than is imposed or
prescribed by any other law, ordinance, rule or regulation, the provisions
of this Part 2 shall govern.
