(a) All Paint Removal. Each person described in Section 1474.02, identified below as the paint remover, shall satisfy the following conditions:
(1) All mechanical equipment shall comply with State, Federal, and manufacturer's standards of maintenance and operation for the procedure being used.
(2) The paint remover shall use tarping to cover the ground and landscaping surrounding the structure to protect the ground and landscaping from any residue or debris. The term “tarping” means an impermeable material which is securely affixed to the perimeter of the structure and which extends out from the foundation of the structure to a perimeter of twenty feet or to the base of the shrouding material, where applicable.
(3) At the end of every workday, and upon completion of the work, the paint remover shall thoroughly clean all residue and debris from the subject premises, all adjacent property, and the public right-of-way. The failure to satisfactorily complete this clean-up shall be deemed a public nuisance, and the paint remover shall be subject to all remedies provided by this chapter and elsewhere in these Codified Ordinances for the remedy of a public nuisance.
(4) Operation of equipment and any obstruction of the public right-of-way must be approved in advance by the Service Director.
(5) In the event of the failure of the paint remover to comply with any provision of this chapter, the Building Inspector shall provide notice of nonconformance and may revoke any permit issued under this chapter and/or issue a stop work order for the immediate termination of all work performed by the paint remover.
(6) Hours of operation of equipment shall be limited to 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays, excluding holidays.
(7) The paint remover shall not conduct work during weather conditions involving wind speeds in excess of fifteen miles per hour, nor at other times determined by the Director of Human Services to be unsafe.
(8) All vents, windows, and other areas through which air might enter the subject premises shall be covered to prevent infiltration by airborne or waterborne particles.
(b) Abrasive Stripping and Cleaning. A paint remover who uses a procedure of abrasive paint stripping or abrasive cleaning (but not power sanding) shall shroud the entire work area with a securely attached tarpaulin or other screening so as to prevent dust, airborne particles, and other debris from causing a nuisance upon pedestrians, vehicles, nearby property, and the public right of way. Such shrouding shall be securely attached to the structure at intervals of no more than three feet so as to completely encapsulate the work area and prevent leakage of at least ninety percent of the dust and debris.
