DIVISION 2: MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS
Only a licensed mechanical master shall be allowed to contract for mechanical work in the jurisdiction of the city. At least one person of the firm or corporation wishing to contract for mechanical work in the jurisdiction of the city shall be a licensed mechanical master. Licensed mechanical journeymen in the employ of a licensed mechanical master shall be allowed to work unattended on jobs and may supervise, not to exceed three, apprentices without a mechanical master being present.
(Ord. 2867, § 1, passed 12-11-1995)
(A) Before the expiration of any license issued, from or by the Permits and Inspections Department, the holder may, upon payment of the renewal fee, as described in the Master Fee Schedule, as either a master mechanical contractor, mechanical journeyman, apprentice, or sheet metal journeyman, make application to the Permits and Inspections Department for renewal of his/her license. Failure to make application and pay the renewal fee for renewal of a license before the expiration date thereof subjects the applicant to pay the renewal fee plus an additional late fee in the amount described in the Maser Fee Schedule. If the application is filed and the fees are paid in accordance with the above, the building official shall issue a renewal of such license without examination unless there are revocation or suspension proceedings in progress against such individual.
(B) Effective the date of the ordinance from which this section is derived, all contractors holding a current license will have a three-month grace period after the expiration date of his or her license to pay required fees as stated in the Master Fee Schedule, section 11-120 in order to renew his or her license. After the three-month grace period contractors will be required to pay a reinstatement fee, as stated in the Master Fee Schedule. Failure to renew by the end of the grace period shall cause such license to expire. If such license has expired, the building official shall reinstate the license provided an application for reinstatement is made by the contractor within one year of the expiration of the license, a reinstatement fee as stated in the Master Fee Schedule is paid, there are no revocation or suspension proceedings in progress against the license holder and the contractor otherwise meets the requirements for the year of the reinstatement. Except as provided herein, any license that has expired shall not be renewed or reinstated and testing with a minimum passing score of 70 percent will be mandatory in order for the building official to issue a license to do work within the City and its extra-territorial zoning jurisdiction. If the building official has reason to believe that the license has violated the provisions of section 27-225, he or she shall have the power to impose any revocation or suspension clause contained within the context of this article.
