15.12.105.6 Amendment of Section 105.6.

Section 105.6 of the International Fire Code shall be amended to read as follows:

105.6 Required operational permits. The purpose of a fire code permit is to protect the general public by identifying those activities, operations, practices or functions that in and of themselves are sufficiently hazardous to create a distinct fire or life safety hazard warranting special inspection, attention or consideration by the fire prevention bureau. Regardless of whether or not a specific activity, operation, practice or function was legally or illegally in existence or occurring prior to the adoption of this code, a permit shall be obtained annually from the bureau of fire prevention prior to engaging in or continuing any of the following activities, operations, practices or functions:

Subsections 105.6.1 through 105.6.47 of the IFC are adopted and incorporated by reference. For all known occupancies requiring operational permits as outlined in Subsections 105.6.1 through 105.6.47, the fire code official shall conduct an annual inspection, collect an inspection fee as set out in Table 6.120.040(10), and issue an operational permit following correction of any documented deficiencies that are deemed necessary. It shall be the responsibility of the owner or operator of the business to notify the fire prevention bureau and schedule inspections for operational permits when required or due for reissuance.
