105.1.2 Types of permits.
There shall be two types of permits as follows:
1. Site-specific permit. Such permit authorizes the permit holder to manufacture, store, handle, use or sell hazardous materials or combustible materials, or conduct an operation or maintain a facility at a specific premises or location, for which a permit is required by FC 105.6.
2. Citywide permit. Such permit authorizes the permit holder to store, handle, use, or sell hazardous materials, or conduct an operation on a citywide basis, for which a permit is required by FC 105.6. A citywide permit is valid to temporarily store, handle, use or sell hazardous materials or to conduct an operation at one or more locations subject to the following restrictions:
2.1. The duration of such activity at any individual location does not exceed 30 calendar days and all hazardous materials associated with such activity are removed from the location at the end of the workday. Periods of activity in excess of 30 calendar days at any one location shall require a site-specific permit.
2.2. The quantity of hazardous materials being temporarily stored and used does not exceed 5 gallons (19 L) of gasoline, or 250 gallons (946 L) of any other flammable liquid, and 300 gallons (1136 L) of any combustible liquid. Storage or use of hazardous materials in quantities exceeding these amounts requires a site-specific permit for each location at which such storage or use occurs.
2.3. Any vehicle used to transport a hazardous material and/or equipment for an operation requiring a citywide permit is subject to inspection by the department.
105.1.3 Permits for the same premises or location.
When more than one permit is required for the same premises or other location or portion thereof, the commissioner may consolidate such permits into a single permit; provided that each type of hazardous material, operation or facility is listed in the permit, and provided further that the total fees payable for such single permit shall be determined by adding the fees for the permits consolidated into the single permit.
105.1.4 Reserved.
105.1.5 Insurance.
The commissioner may require applicants for permits or other approvals to obtain and furnish proof of general liability insurance, in such amounts and in accordance with such requirements as may be set forth in this code or the rules, otherwise required by law, or required as a condition of the permit or other approval. The permit or other approval shall expire by operation of law if any such required insurance lapses, expires or is cancelled during the term of the permit or other approval.
Application for a permit required by this code shall be made to the commissioner in such form and detail as the commissioner may prescribe. Applications for permits shall be accompanied by design and installation documents and/or such other information or documentation as may be prescribed by this code, the rules or the department. Applications for permits relating to the storage, handling, use or transportation of high explosives shall be accompanied by proof of United States citizenship.
105.2.1 Reserved.
105.2.2 Inspection of premises and installations.
Before a permit or other approval is issued, the commissioner may inspect the building, structure, facility, premises, marine vessel, watercraft or vehicle to confirm the facts set forth in the application, determine compliance with the requirements of this code, the rules and other applicable laws, rules or regulations enforced by the commissioner, or to evaluate whether any restrictions should be imposed as a condition of the permit or other approval. The department may require the applicant to arrange any such inspection, and require the applicant to attend such inspection with his or her design professionals, contractor or other appropriate representatives. When a department inspection is required upon completion of an installation or other work or requested by the department, the applicant shall notify the department upon completion of such work and request such inspection, arrange for the presence of the appropriate representatives at such inspection, correct any deficiencies identified during such inspection, and keep the installation or other work accessible for department inspection until department approval is obtained.
105.2.3 Time limitation on application.
An application for a permit or other approval shall be deemed to have been abandoned 180 calendar days after the date of filing, unless such application has been diligently prosecuted or a permit or other approval shall have been issued; except that the commissioner may grant one or more extensions of time for additional periods not exceeding 90 calendar days each if there is reasonable cause.
