§ 2-06 Field Verification.
RCNY § 2-06
(a)(1) New certificate of operation requests. A request for inspection must be submitted by the installer or owner and must include the installer's certification that the installation has been completed in accordance with the Notice of Application/Plans Approval and is ready for inspection.
(2)The request for inspection must be submitted using forms prescribed by the department. The request must be submitted within thirty days of the equipment being capable of operation and before the expiration of the work permit.
(b)Certificate of operation renewals. The owner of a device that is required to have a certificate of operation or the owner's authorized representative must submit a request for inspection using a form prescribed by the department.
(c)Appointments. An appointment, arranged by the department, must be made such that the installer or owner must meet the department's engineer at the specified time and meeting place. Installations must be complete and ready for testing when the inspecting engineer(s) arrives. The owner or his representative must ensure that the following facilities and/or conditions exist so as to enable the department's engineer to properly evaluate the installation: (1) That entry and suitable access to all parts of the equipment and apparatus is provided.
(3)That facilities, not necessarily of a permanent nature (for example a sturdy, appropriately sized ladder, or ladders), are provided to enable proper verification and testing of the installation. Wooden ladders are not acceptable.
(4)That the boiler room has no health and safety hazards. The existence of disintegrating suspected asbestos containing material, water or steam leak from a pressurized boiler, flue gas leak from the breeching, inadequate lighting, or any other hazard will preclude an inspection and performance test and will result in the issuance of a Notice of Installation Disapproval.
(5)That all equipment can be readily identified with regard to make, model, type, and any other applicable characteristics or designations.
(d)Approvals and Reinspections.
(i)Upon completion of a satisfactory performance test and approval of inspection, the design firing rate of the burner must not be increased without notification to the department, and modification to the work permit / plan approval.
(ii)A reinspection will be required for failed performance tests and/or a disapproval of inspection. An additional form prescribed by the department must be submitted in order for the reinspection to occur.
(e)This section applies to registrations that are subject to the requirements of 15 RCNY § 2-01. (Amended City Record 5/13/2016, eff. 6/12/2016)
