14A-4-404 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS BASED ON SCOPE OF WORK.
14A-4-404.1 General.
It is unlawful to engage in any of the specialized scopes of work described in Sections 14A-4-404.2 through 14A-4-404.22 unless a permit for such work has first been obtained from the building official in accordance with the general requirements of Section 14A-4-401 and the specific requirements of those sections.
14A-4-404.2 Boilers and unfired pressure vessels.
A separate permit must be obtained before the installation, alteration, or repair of any boiler or unfired pressure vessel in accordance with Article III of Chapter 11-4 of the Municipal Code.
Exceptions:
1.   Heating boilers installed in buildings of Group R-5 occupancy must be permitted as part of the heating system.
2.   Emergency repairs may be made, provided a permit is applied for on the next business day after the repairs begin.
Where a boiler or unfired pressure vessel is to be installed, altered, or repaired as part of other construction, alteration or repair work, the size, number, and location of all boilers or unfired pressure vessels to be installed, altered, or repaired must be marked on the plans. A permit issued for other work, however, does not authorize the installation, alteration, or repair of a boiler or unfired pressure vessel.
14A-4-404.2.1 Plans required.
An application for permit to install or alter a boiler or unfired pressure vessel must be accompanied by plans and specifications for the boiler or unfired pressure vessel.
14A-4-404.2.2 Certificate of use.
It is unlawful for a person to use a newly-installed or altered boiler or unfired pressure vessel before the boiler or unfired pressure vessel has been inspected by the building official and the building official has certified that the boiler or unfired pressure vessel was installed or altered in accordance with the permit and may be safely used.
