There is hereby established in the Borough of Kenilworth a State Uniform Construction Code enforcing agency known as the "Building Department of the Borough of Kenilworth," consisting of a Building Inspector, a Building Subcode Official, Plumbing Subcode Official, Electrical Subcode Official, Fire Protection Subcode Official and such other subdued officials for such other subedits as the Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey, shall hereafter adopt as part of the State Uniform Construction Code. The Building Inspector shall be the chief administrator of the enforcing agency.
Each official position created in Subsection A hereof shall be filled by a person qualified for such position pursuant to PL. 1975, c. 217, as amended, and N.J.A.C. 5:23, provided that, in lieu of any particular subdued official, an on-site inspection agency may be retained by contract pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:23. More than one such official position may be held by the same person, provided that such person is qualified pursuant to PL. 1975, c. 217, and N.J.A.C. 5:23 to hold each such position.
Building Department fees for plan review, permits, certificates and any other service provided by the Department, including fees for witnessing acceptance tests and performing inspections on new and altered elevator devices, shall be those allowed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:23-4.20 and 5:23-12.6, as may be amended from time to time.
The Building Inspector shall, with the advice of the subcode officials, prepare and submit to the governing body of the Borough of Kenilworth, through the Planning, Zoning and Ordinance Committee thereof, biannually a report recommending a fee schedule based on the operating expenses of the Building Department and any other expenses of the Borough of Kenilworth fairly attributed to the enforcement of the State Uniform Construction Code.
Editor's Note: Former § 78-2C, Surcharge fee, amended 9-11-1979 by Ord. No. 79-19, was repealed at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
All the area located within the Industrial A, Industrial B, Industrial C, Business A, Business B and Business C zone districts as laid down and delineated on a map entitled "Building Zone Map, Borough of Kenilworth, Union County, New Jersey," dated July 1963, and revised by Frank P. Koczur, Borough Engineer, January, 1975. This map is annexed hereto and made a part hereof.
Editor's Note: This map is on file in the office of the Borough Clerk.
All other areas not included in the aforesaid fire limits shall be designated as outside fire limits.
Any person or entity may apply for an inspection of a particular project or site on a day and time convenient to that person or entity. Any such application shall be made, in writing, to the Kenilworth Building Department on a form to be provided by the Department. The Construction Official shall make the necessary arrangements with licensed subdued officials to make the inspection on the day and time requested. If the Construction Official is unable to arrange for the inspection as requested, he shall notify the applicant requesting the inspection as soon as possible after the request is made.
Any person or entity applying for an inspection pursuant to Subsection A above shall, in addition to any other fees payable pursuant to § 78-2 of this chapter, pay to the Building Department a fee equal to $40 for the first hour or portion thereof that the inspector is on site making such inspection on a weekday and $60 for the first hour or portion thereof for a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. For each additional hour, or portion thereof, after the first hour, regardless of day of week, the applicant shall pay a fee of $25. The applicant shall deposit with the Building Department at the time the application is made a sum equal to the first hour for each inspection requested. If an inspection exceeds one hour, the applicant shall be billed for the additional time. Any such bill shall be due and payable immediately upon receipt.
The provisions of this section shall not apply, nor shall the applicant be charged a fee as provided for herein, where an inspection is performed by a code official regularly employed by the Borough of Kenilworth in a full- or part-time salaried position, except that, where such convenience inspection is requested for a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the applicant shall pay the applicable fee.
Editor's Note: Former § 78-5, Fee schedule, as amended, has been relocated to Ch. 91, Fees and Licenses, Art. I, § 91-1.3, Uniform Construction Code fees.
In the event of any conflict pertaining to fees, the schedule of fees set forth in this chapter shall supersede and remain controlling.
Editor's Note: The Uniform Construction Code fees are now located in § 91-1.3.
