The trade of installing, charging, filling, maintaining,

73 to any applicant meeting the current licensing requirements of the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies ("NICET") or holding a license to engage in the trade issued by the City of Rochester or holding any other license to engage in the trade issued by another jurisdiction which the Marshal determines has requirements for its issuance that are substantially similar to the licensing requirements of the City of Rochester or of NICET. The license issued by the Marshal shall expire on December 31 each calendar year, shall not be transferable and shall be limited in scope to allow only those disciplines included in the Trade that the licensee has demonstrated by the above referenced documentation it is qualified to perform.
A corporation or limited-liability company may
conduct the trade within the Town of Brighton and shall be entitled
to a license therefor, provided that one or more employees of such
entity is the holder of a license duly granted as provided in this
article. No person shall perform the trade on behalf of such entity
unless he or she is licensed hereunder.
An insurance certificate showing coverages set
by resolution of the Town Board and filed in the office of the Marshal
shall be filed by every person or entity engaged in the trade within
the Town of Brighton. Such insurance certificate shall name the Town
of Brighton as an additional insured. Such insurance policy shall
be renewed from year to year so long as the licensee engages in the
trade within the Town of Brighton.
The Town Board may revoke any license issued
under the authority of this chapter, provided that before such revocation,
a public hearing shall be held before the Town Board, upon at least
10 days' written notice from the Marshal by first class mail to the
licensee, and that following such public hearing, the Town Board determines
that such licensee is not qualified to properly conduct the trade,
or that the licensee's license from the City of Rochester or other
licensing jurisdiction has been revoked or is otherwise no longer
in effect, or that the licensee has violated the provisions of this
article.
Persons convicted of violating any provision of this article shall be subject to the penalties contained in Chapter
1, General Provisions. Each day a violation continues shall constitute a separate offense hereunder.
