[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Cornwall-on-Hudson 5-12-1980 by L.L. No. 2-1980. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
The Cornwall-on-Hudson Village Board enacts this chapter to
encourage the proper and safe installation of heating stoves and fireplaces
in order to better protect life and property by providing a permit
procedure and inspection of the design and installation of heating
stoves and fireplaces.
The Village Board of the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson adopted
the New York State Building Construction Code[1] effective in the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson on July
20, 1964.
Any person, firm or corporation, all hereinafter "the applicant,"
seeking to install or to have installed a heating stove or fireplace,
fueled by wood, coal or any other fuel, in any building, as the same
is defined by the Zoning Law[1] of the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson, within the incorporated
area of the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson shall comply with the provisions
of this chapter.
[Amended 11-28-1983 by L.L. No. 4-1983]
Prior to installing any heating stove or fireplace, the applicant
shall submit to the Code Enforcement Officer a plan, sketch or drawing
illustrating the design and proposed installation of the heating stove
or fireplace. If the Code Enforcement Officer determines that the
proposed installation meets with requirements of the New York State
Building Construction Code, he will issue a permit for the installation.
After receiving the permit, the applicant must advise the Code Enforcement
Officer prior to any construction, and the Code Enforcement Officer
shall make an on-site inspection of the building. Following completion
of the installation and prior to the use of the heating
stove or fireplace, the applicant shall advise the Code Enforcement
Officer of completion of construction, and the Code Enforcement Officer
will make a final inspection. If the Code Enforcement Officer finds
that the installation is in accordance with the New York State Building
Construction Code, he will issue a permit to use the heating stove
or fireplace.
[Amended 11-28-1983 by L.L. No. 4-1983]
There will be no fees of any type, kind or nature charged to
or collected from the applicant for the issuance of any permits or
inspections made by the Code Enforcement Officer pursuant to the provisions
of this chapter.
Notwithstanding the issuance of any permits pursuant to this
chapter, should a fire occur in a building where a heating stove or
fireplace has been installed, the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson shall
not be in any way liable for any loss of life or injury to persons
or property resulting therefrom.
