The Town Board of the Town of Martinsburg, pursuant to the authority
granted it under § 381, Subdivision 2, of the Executive
Law of the State of New York, and §§ 10 and 20 of the
Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York, hereby enacts as
follows.
The Town Board of the Town of Martinsburg has found it difficult
to obtain qualified individuals with the necessary and requisite skills
to enforce the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building
Code. Further, the Town Board has found that many of the individuals
who may possess the necessary qualifications may also have conflicts
of interest because of their enforcement in the building trades. It
is believed that enforcement of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention
and Building Code by the County of Lewis will provide more uniformity
and impartiality in the enforcement of the code. It is the purpose
of this chapter to opt out of Town enforcement of the New York State
Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code as of January 1, 1997.
The Town Board of the Town of Martinsburg hereby elects to cease
administration and enforcement of the New York State Uniform Fire
Prevention and Building Code as of January 1, 1997.
