The City of Bradford hereby adopts, for the purpose of prescribing regulations
governing conditions hazardous to life and property from fire or explosion,
the fire prevention code known as the "BOCA Basic Fire Prevention Code, 1996
Edition," and then, henceforth, the City of Bradford will comply with the
most recent edition of this code, save and except such portions as are hereinafter
deleted, modified or amended, of which three (3) copies have been and are
now filed in the office of the City Clerk, and the same are hereby adopted
and incorporated as fully as if set out at length herein, and from the date
on which this Article shall take effect, the provisions thereof shall be controlling
within the corporate limits of the City of Bradford.
Whenever the Chief of the Fire Department shall disapprove an application
or refuse to grant a permit applied for, or when it is claimed that the provisions
of the code do not apply or that the true intent and meaning of the code have
been misconstrued or wrongly interpreted, the applicant may appeal from the
decision of the Chief of the Fire Department to the City Manager within thirty
(30) days from the date of the decision appealed.
The City Manager shall designate the Chief of the Fire Department and
two (2) other qualified persons to act as a committee to determine and specify,
after giving affected persons an opportunity to be heard, any new materials,
processes or occupancies which shall require permits in addition to those
now enumerated in said code. The Chief of the Fire Department
shall post such list in a conspicuous place in his office and distribute copies
thereof to interested persons.
The Fire Prevention Code hereby adopted is amended as follows:
A. The "City of Bradford" shall be inserted wherever the
words "Name of Municipality" appear in brackets therein; wherever the term
"legal officer" or "legal representative" is used in this code, it shall be
held to mean the Bradford City Solicitor.
B. Section F-112.3 is hereby amended to read as follows:
