(a) A permit shall be required 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. Such permit does not take the place of any license required by law. It shall be for an indefinite period, not transferable, and any change in use or occupancy of premises shall require a new permit.
(b) The Bureau of Fire Prevention may revoke a permit or approval issued if any violation of this article is found upon inspection, or in case there has been any false statement or misrepresentation as to a material fact in the application or plans on which the permit or approval was based.
(c) Before a permit may be issued, the Chief Inspector of the Bureau of Fire Prevention, or his assistants, shall inspect and approve the receptacles, vehicles, buildings or storage places to be used. In cases where laws or regulations enforceable by departments other than the Bureau of Fire Prevention are applicable, joint approval shall be obtained from all departments concerned.
(d) All applications for a permit required by this article shall be made to the Bureau of Fire Prevention in such form and detail as the Bureau shall prescribe.
(e) Permits and licenses shall at all times be kept on the premises designated therein, and shall at all times be subject to inspection by any officer of the Fire or Police Department.
(f) One permit only shall be required by retail establishments dealing in, or manufacturing plants using two or more flammable combustible or explosive materials to be kept in the establishment at any one time, but each of the materials shall be listed in the permit.
