(Prior code § 17-2A.1)
The material and construction of boilers shall be in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Rules for the Construction of Stationary Boilers, as follows:
Section I. Power Boilers, dated 1977 or later;
Section II. Material Specifications, dated 1977 or later.
Part A. Ferrous.
Part B. Nonferrous;
Section III. Nuclear Vessels, dated 1977 or later;
Section IV. Heating Boilers, dated 1977 or later;
Section IX. Welding Qualifications, dated 1977 or later;
Section X. Fiberglass and Reinforced Plastic Pressure Vessels, dated 1977 or later;
Section XI. In-Service Inspection of Nuclear Reactor Coolant System, dated 1977 or later.
(Prior code § 17-2A.2)
The material and construction of tanks and other vessels under pressure shall be in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Rules for the Construction of Unfired Pressure Vessels, Section VIII, Pressure Vessels, Division 1 dated 1977, Division 2, dated 1977 or later.
(Prior code § 17-2A.3)
Before any owner or agent shall proceed with the installation or alteration of any boiler or unfired pressure vessel, he shall place on file in the department of buildings plans and specifications of the same. Upon approval of such plans and specifications, a duplicate set of which shall be left on file in said office and the payment of fees and hereinafter provided, the department of buildings shall issue a permit for the installation or alteration of such apparatus.
If such owner or agent shall proceed with the installation of any boiler or unfired pressure vessel and shall fail to place on file with the department of buildings plans and specifications of the same and shall fail to obtain a permit for the installation of such apparatus, he shall be liable to a fine of $25.00 for each day on which he shall have operated such installation without said permit, and each day's violation shall constitute a separate offense.
It shall be unlawful for any person to use any boiler or tank or tanks subject to pressure, other than the pressure in the city water mains, until he shall first have procured a certificate from the department of buildings that such apparatus may be safely used. If such owner, agent or person using a boiler or tank shall fail to notify the said department of buildings of his intention to make any alteration or enlargement of such boiler or tank and shall fail to file plans and specifications for the enlargement or alteration of the same and shall proceed to make such alterations or enlargement without a permit thereof, he shall be liable to a fine of $100.00 for each day on which he shall have prosecuted such alterations or enlargement without said permit and each day's violation shall constitute a separate offense.
(Prior code § 17-2A.4; Amend Coun. J. 9-23-89, p. 4604; Amend Coun. J. 12-4-02, p. 99026, § 2.4; Amend Coun. J. 11-13-07, p. 14999, Art. II, § 1)
All boilers, tanks, jacketed kettles, generators or other apparatus used for generating or transmitting steam for power or using steam under pressure for power or using steam under pressure for heating or steaming purposes, and all other tanks, jacketed kettles and reservoirs under pressure of any kind, shall be inspected under the authority or pursuant to the mandate of the building commissioner as often as the commissioner deems necessary. If a hydrostatic pressure test is deemed necessary, the hydrostatic pressures used in such test shall not exceed the maximum working pressure of the apparatus being tested by more than 50 percent and a careful external and internal examination of the apparatus shall be made prior to administering the test. In all cases where a hydrostatic pressure test is used, an internal examination of such apparatus shall be made after the test is administered.
(Prior code § 17-2A.5; Amend Coun. J. 9-13-89, p. 4604; Amend Coun. J. 12-2-09, p. 78837, Art. 7, § 1; Amend Coun. J. 2-22-17, p. 43916, Art. VIII, § 15)
Any boiler, tank, jacketed kettle, generator or reservoir having been in use eight years or more and in such condition that in the opinion of the inspector the same should be drilled in order that the exact thickness and condition may be ascertained, shall be reported to the department of buildings which shall serve the owner or agent with a written notice to show cause to the said department of buildings within five days why such boiler, tank, jacketed kettle, generator or reservoir should not be drilled. If, after the owner or agent has been heard or at the end of five days, the department of buildings deems it necessary, then such boiler, tank, jacketed kettle, generator or reservoir may be drilled at points near the water line and at the bottom of the shell of the boiler or at such other points in the boiler, tank, jacketed kettle, generator or reservoir as the inspecting officer may direct and the thickness of said material shall be determined thereafter at such periodic inspection as the inspecting officer may deem necessary and the steam pressure or other pressure allowed shall be governed by such ascertained thickness and general condition of boiler, tank, jacketed kettle, generator or reservoir. The drilling and plugging of said holes shall be done at the expense of the owner.
(Prior code § 17-2A.6; Amend Coun. J. 9-13-89, p. 4604)
When a permit-related inspection of a boiler or unfired pressure vessel has been made and the same has been approved by the department of buildings, the department shall make and deliver to the person for whom the inspection was made, subject to payment of the required fees, a certificate of operation together with a general description of such apparatus. This certificate shall be framed and hung in a conspicuous place in the boiler room.
(Prior code § 17-2A.7; Amend Coun. J. 9-13-89, p. 4604; Amend Coun. J. 9-6-17, p. 55278, Art. V, § 5)
