ELEVATORS AND CONVEYANCES
(Cite as: 21 V.S.A. § 151)
-
§ 151. Permits
(a) No conveyance shall be erected, constructed, installed, or altered in a public building
unless a permit has been obtained from the Department before work is commenced. Before
a material alteration, as defined by rule, is begun, the conveyance shall conform
to rules adopted by the Board regulating the alteration. A copy of the permit shall
be kept at the construction site at all times while work is in progress.
(b) Each application for a permit shall be accompanied by a fee of $25.00, and copies
of specifications and accurately scaled and fully dimensioned plans that clearly indicate
location of the elevator in the building; the location of the machinery room and the
equipment to be installed, relocated, or altered; all structural supporting members,
including foundations; and a specification of all materials to be used and all loads
to be supported or conveyed. The plans and specifications shall be sufficiently complete
to illustrate all details of construction and design.
(c) A permit may be revoked for any of the following reasons:
(1) a false statement or a misrepresentation of a material fact in the application, plans,
or specifications on which the permit was based;
(2) failure of the permittee to perform work in accordance with the conditions of the
permit, the provisions of the application, plans, or specifications, or with the standards
required by this subchapter; or
(3) failure of the permit holder to comply with any order issued pursuant to section 154 of this title.
(d) Work shall commence within six months after the date of issuance of a permit, or within
a shorter period of time as the Commissioner may specify in the permit.
(e) A permit shall expire if work is suspended or abandoned for more than 60 days after
work has begun, or a shorter period of time as the Commissioner may specify in the
permit. For good cause shown, the Commissioner may extend this period. (Added 2001, No. 60, § 1, eff. July 1, 2002.)
