No person shall remove paint or clean any exterior surface of any structure in the City by sand blasting, steam or high-pressure cleaning, power sanding or other similar method without first having obtained a permit therefor from the Commissioner of Buildings. A separate permit shall be required for each separate job or location at which such activity is to be done. Nothing herein shall limit or restrict a person from removing or cleaning graffiti or other evidence of vandalism from any structure or location in the City without a permit.
(Ord. 235-1992. Passed 11-2-92.)
(a) An application for a permit required by Section 1747.01 shall be filed, in writing, in the office of the Commissioner of Buildings. The Commissioner shall prepare and furnish forms for that purpose. Each application shall state:
(1) The location of the job;
(2) The structure or portion thereof upon which the process is to be performed;
(3) The length of time it is estimated the process will take;
(4) The date when such work is to commence; and
(5) The type of process to be used.
(b) Each application shall be accompanied with a cash bond or deposit for the assurance of compliance with the provisions in this chapter and particularly compliance with Section 1747.06(g).
(1) The contractor shall be required to secure and deliver to the Commissioner a five thousand dollar ($5,000) bond to cover the cost of clean-up or damage to adjoining property, including public rights of way, which the contractor does not satisfactorily complete.
(2) The Commissioner shall be empowered to require an additional deposit or bond per permit issued to a contractor when the Commissioner determines that the bond is insufficient to cover potential damage.
(c) At the conclusion of the work to be done under each permit, the contractor shall report the same to the Commissioner who shall review the work for compliance with this chapter pursuant to Section 1747.06(g). If the clean-up work and other work done to return the site to its original condition is not satisfactory upon completion of the project, the Commissioner may withhold the bond posted for that permit and have City personnel or contractors retained by the City properly clean-up the site, correct any health hazards and remove lead paint chips and any other debris left by the permittee. The cost of such corrective measures will be calculated by the Commissioner and an itemized invoice will be provided to the permittee. The amount of said invoice will be deducted from the bond with the balance returned to the contractor/permittee. In the event the cost for corrective measures exceeds the bond posted for that permit, the contractor shall immediately pay the balance due to the City;
(d) Failure to comply with the provisions of this section regarding payment of amounts due hereunder shall be cause for immediate revocation of the contractor's registration and any outstanding permits. In addition, the Director of Law shall be empowered to seek other appropriate remedies, including damages, on behalf of the City.
(e) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to in any way limit, reduce, mitigate or otherwise diminish the liability of the contractor/permittee to any person, property owner, citizen or other affected individual for any damage arising from any cause as a consequence of the contractor's/permittee's actions or work performed even if a proper permit is issued under this chapter and the contractor complies with all provisions hereof.
(Ord. 235-1992. Passed 11-2-92.)
At the time of filing the application provided for in Section 1747.02, a permit fee shall be paid to the Building Department in the amount of fifteen dollars ($15.00).
(Ord. 235-1992. Passed 11-2-92.)
Before a permit shall be issued, the contractor/applicant shall be registered as a contractor with the City pursuant to Chapter 1705 of these Codified Ordinances and shall have all requisite insurance in place pursuant thereto. The provisions of Chapter 1705 shall remain unchanged by this section.
(Ord. 235-1992. Passed 11-2-92.)
