A current certificate of insurance for all contractors
must be on file in the Department prior to the issuance of any building
permit. The type and limits of such insurance may vary as deemed necessary
in relation to the type and scope of construction involved and shall
therefore be established on a case-by-case basis by the Director.
As a guide, all contractors shall be required to carry workers' compensation
insurance, as required by New York State, and general liability insurance
in the amount of $1,000,000 for year-round and commercial work and
$300,000 for small or seasonal builders.
Legal stop orders issued under the authority contained in §
208-107 of Chapter
208, Zoning, as amended, can only be rescinded or removed by the Building Inspector. Any removal of a legally posted stop order by unauthorized personnel shall be considered to be an offense and punishable as provided in §
208-111 of Chapter
208, Zoning, as amended.
