The Chief Fire Marshal in conjunction with the Director of Engineering
Services shall issue construction permits for the installation or
modification of fire protection equipment upon compliance by the applicant
with all state and local requirements and standards. Construction
permits shall be required for automatic fire-extinguishing systems,
automatic sprinkler systems, carbon dioxide extinguishing systems,
clean agent extinguishing systems, fire alarm systems, foam-extinguishing
systems, mechanical smoke control systems, halogenated extinguishing
systems, fire pump systems, and standpipe systems.
A.
It shall be unlawful for a person, firm or corporation to install
or modify fire protection equipment or conduct a business operation
without benefit of a construction permit for a fire protection system.
Any person who fails, neglects or refuses to obtain a permit shall
be in violation of this chapter.
B.
It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the installation,
servicing or maintenance of fire protection equipment without benefit
of the requisite current manufacturer's certification, and appropriate
New York State or Town of Huntington license.
Construction permits are not transferable and any change in
occupancy, operation, use, tenancy, installation contractor or ownership
shall require that a new permit be obtained. It shall be unlawful
to transfer a permit to another person, or to change the occupancy,
operation, use, or tenancy of a premise for which a permit was issued;
or to change the installation contractor; or to change ownership of
a premise for which a permit was issued without obtaining a new permit
from the Chief Fire Marshal.
A.
In all buildings designed or required to be fully protected with
an automatic fire sprinkler system, it shall be unlawful to fail,
refuse or neglect to fully protect all spaces, including mechanical,
electrical, or telephone equipment rooms, or other control rooms,
in accordance with NFPA Standard 13, or successor standard.
B.
In a partially occupied building that is designed or required to
be fully protected with an automatic fire sprinkler system, it shall
be unlawful to fail, refuse, or neglect to fully protect all floors
below the occupied space and any floor so occupied, partially or fully.
C.
Basements.
(1)
It shall be unlawful to fail, refuse or neglect to install and maintain
adequate and proper automatic fire sprinkler systems in all basements
having an area exceeding five thousand (5,000) square feet, when used
for the manufacture, sale or storage of combustible goods or merchandise,
not including garages. "Area" as used in this section refers to the
maximum horizontal projected area of the basement at grade, as measured
between exterior walls, fire walls notwithstanding. "Combustible goods
or merchandise" shall include those made of wood, paper or rubber;
those containing flammable liquids; those packed with quantities of
excelsior, moss or paper; and other goods or merchandise of equivalent
or greater combustibility.
(2)
In buildings used for assembly, educational, institutional and residential
occupancies, it shall be unlawful to fail, refuse or neglect to install
and maintain adequate and proper automatic fire sprinkler systems
in such portions of the basement as are used for storage purposes
or as workshops.
