Construction Code.
[1973 Code § 42-4]
a.
No building permit shall be issued for the erection, construction,
reconstruction, alteration or moving of any building or structure,
unless the applicant therefor shall have deposited with the Construction
Official the sum of five hundred ($500.00) dollars in cash or certified
check for premises located in the A Zone and one thousand ($1,000.00)
dollars for premises located in the B or C Zone, as security for the
faithful performance of the following:
1.
The repair of any street, curb, sidewalk, drain or other municipal
facility that may be damaged as a result of the performance of the
work for which the building permit was issued.
2.
The cleaning of any street, sidewalk or drainage facility that may
be covered or filled with dirt, mud, silt, stone or other debris that
may wash down from the property as a result of the performance of
the work for which the building permit was issued.
b.
In the event of any damage to a municipal facility as a result of
the building work being performed, the applicant shall repair such
damage to the satisfaction of the Borough Engineer within thirty (30)
days after written notification by the Borough. In the event that
any street, sidewalk or drainage facility shall require cleaning as
a result of the building work being performed, the applicant shall
clean same to the satisfaction of the Borough Engineer or the Borough
Administrator within twenty-four (24) hours after notification by
the Borough.
c.
In the event that the applicant shall fail to repair any such damage
to a municipal facility and/or clean any street, sidewalk or drainage
facility, the Borough may perform such work or have same performed
and charge the costs thereof against the security deposit, with the
applicant being liable for any deficiency. In lieu of the Borough's
performing such work or having same performed and charging the cost
thereof against the security deposit, the Construction Official shall,
in his discretion, withhold the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
until the work shall have been satisfactorily performed. Upon completion
of the work for which the building permit was issued, the security
fund, less any reasonable charges against same as aforesaid, shall
be returned to the applicant.
d.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Construction Official
may waive the requirement of a security deposit where he shall be
satisfied from the nature of the building permit application and the
extent of the work to be performed thereunder that the interests of
the public welfare and safety do not warrant the requirement of a
security deposit.
a.
The following shall be in addition to the inspections required by
the Uniform Construction Code requirements, N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.18(b).
1.
In all cases in which applications for development and permits are
sought for structures located in either the Historic Zone or Historic
Fringe Zone, the following shall be required:
(a)
For the purpose of ensuring that elevations considered by the Historic Preservation Commission and the Planning Board and elevations and construction plans considered by the Construction Official are in conformity with each other, all plans originally submitted and all amendments originally submitted to the Historic Preservation Commission, the Planning Board or the Construction Official shall have prominently stamped thereon a legend whereby the aforementioned Historic Preservation Commission, Planning Board and Construction Official indicate their approval, their disapproval or modifications and approval of the same and date thereof. In addition to the aforementioned legends, upon review by the Construction Official, he shall certify in writing to the Planning Board that the plans upon which any construction permit is issued are in conformance with the elevations and plans originally submitted and approved by the Planning Board and are in conformance with any conditions imposed by the Planning Board in its resolutions. Upon the receipt by the Construction Official of the final plans approved by the Planning Board, the Construction Official shall upon issuance of the construction permit simultaneously determine the number of inspections required in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 9-1.5. The Planning Board shall, at the time of any hearing and approval, incorporate into its resolution a recommendation to the Construction Official as to the number of additional inspections necessary or desirable and the stage of construction at which such additional inspections should be made. The Construction Official shall, when determining the number of inspections required in accordance with the provisions of subsection 9-1.5, take into consideration the recommendations of the Planning Board as contained in its written resolution. The owner, applicant or other responsible person in charge of the work, upon completion of the work and/or stage of construction that requires an additional inspection, shall immediately notify the Construction Official or appropriate subcode official that the work is ready for any additional inspections required as the result of the operation of this subsection 9-1.5, in accordance with the schedule, timing and stage of completion as directed by the Construction Official at the time of issuance of a construction permit. Failure to so notify the Construction Official in a timely fashion shall be deemed a violation of this chapter.
(b)
Upon the issuance of a construction permit, the Construction Official and appropriate subcode officials, after having given effect to any conditions imposed by the Planning Board after review and recommendation to the Planning Board of the Historic Preservation Commission (pursuant to Chapter 34, Zoning of the Rockleigh Borough Code, subsections 34-32.2 and 34-32.3) shall require as many additional inspections as shall be necessary to ensure that said conditions shall be met at the appropriate stages of construction. During the course of such construction, the Construction Official and the appropriate subcode officials are hereby directed to confer with an appointed representative of the Historic Preservation Commission for the purpose of obtaining the views of the Historic Preservation Commission as to whether or not its recommendations adopted or modified and adopted by the Planning Board as conditions are being met. Notwithstanding that the completion of such additional inspections is still pending, construction by the applicant may be continued without interruption; the Construction Official, however, may subsequently refuse to grant a certificate of occupancy if all of the conditions of the construction permit have not been fully met.
2.
In all cases in which the construction permit is for structures located
in any other zone and the same either exceed two (2) stories in height
or by their nature pose complex or unusual construction problems,
the Construction Official and the appropriate subcode officials may
specify additional or special inspections to the applicant in writing
prior to the issuance of a construction permit and, by accepting the
permit, the applicant shall be deemed to have accepted their requirement.
b.
Notice of Inspections. In addition to the notice requirements for the four (4) specific inspections required under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.18 and subsections 9-1.5a1 and 9-1.5a2, the owner, applicant or other responsible person in charge of the work shall notify the Construction Official or appropriate subcode officials when the work is ready for any additional inspections required as the result of the operation of this subsection 9-1.5. Notice shall be given at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time inspection is desired, and inspection shall be performed within three (3) business days of the time for which it was required. The work shall not proceed in a manner which will preclude the inspection until it has been made.

than seven (7.0) square inches, or be no greater than two (2.0) inches
across the smallest dimension.
c.
This standard does not apply:
1.
Where the municipal engineer agrees that this standard would cause
inadequate hydraulic performance that could not practicably be overcome
