§ 242-7. Filing of plans; notification of work.  


Latest version.
  • It shall be unlawful to do plumbing and drainage installation except pursuant to approved drawings or approved amendments thereof as provided herein.
    A. 
    Plans. The owner or agent shall file a plan with the Bureau of Buildings showing the system of plumbing to be installed, which drawings must be approved by the Plumbing Inspector before work is begun. No modification of the approved drawings shall be permitted unless amended or supplemental drawings covering the proposed change or changes are filed and approved. All such plans shall be submitted in duplicate, and one copy, stamped with the approval of the Plumbing Inspector, shall be kept on the premises where the installation is being carried on.
    B. 
    Notification of plumbing. No work shall be started until the master plumber has filed a notification card, prescribed and furnished by the Department of Development, with the Plumbing Inspector. Repairs and replacements of plumbing and drainage may be made without the filing of drawings in the Bureau of Buildings, but said exemption from the filing of drawings for repairs and replacements shall not be construed to include any case where new, or replacements for, vertical and/or horizontal lines of soil, waste or vent pipes are proposed. In any event, however, notification cards shall be filed and permits issued before starting the work. Said repairs and replacements shall comply in all respects with the weight, quality, materials, arrangements and venting as provided in this code. The provisions of this code shall apply to all extensions, alterations and other work to be done in connection with plumbing or house drains in old buildings the same as in new buildings, except minor repairs, which shall be construed as meaning repairs to the existing plumbing system known to the trade as "jobbing."
    C. 
    Installation of oil burners. No plumbing work in connection with the installation or operation of oil burners or incidental thereto shall be performed by other than a plumber duly licensed by the County of Westchester.
    D. 
    Exceptions. The provisions of this code shall not apply to the City (public) systems of sewerage and sewage treatment, plans of which have been approved by the New York State Department of Health.
