Application for a permit required by this article
shall be made to the Fire Subcode Official in such form and detail
as the Fire Subcode Official shall prescribe. Applications for permits
shall be accompanied by plans or drawings as required by the Fire
Subcode Official for evaluation of the application.
Before a permit is issued, the Fire Subcode
Official or the Fire Subcode Official's designated representative
shall make or cause to be made such inspections or tests as are necessary
to assure that the use and activities for which application is made
comply with the provisions of this article.
A permit shall constitute permission to maintain,
store or handle materials or to conduct processes which produce conditions
hazardous to life or property or to install equipment used in connection
with such activities in accordance with the provisions of this article.
Such permission shall not be construed as authority to violate, cancel
or set aside any of the provisions of this article. Said permit shall
remain in effect until revoked or for such period of time specified
on the permit. Permits are not transferable, and any change in use,
operation or tenancy shall require a new permit.
Plans approved by the Fire Subcode Official
are approved with the intent that they comply in all respects to this
article. Any omissions or errors on the plans do not relieve the applicant
of complying with all applicable requirements of this article.
The Fire Subcode Official may revoke a permit
or approval issued under the provisions of this article if, upon inspection,
any violation of the code exists or if conditions of a permit have
been violated or if there has been any false statement or misrepresentation
as to material fact in the application, data or plans on which the
permit or approval was based.
A permit shall not be issued until the designated
fee has been paid. The designated fee for the aforementioned permit
is $10, and the fee must be paid to the City of Pleasantville.
Any person who violates the provisions of this
article shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine of not less than
$100 nor more than $1,000, imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90
