§ 24-128 Standards for granting or renewing certificates of operation.

AC § 24-128

(a)No initial certificate of operation shall be granted for the use or operation of equipment or apparatus for which a work permit is required unless the applicant first requests an inspection by the department to certify that the equipment or apparatus is installed in accordance with the work permit and operates in accordance with this code. Such inspection shall include testing as set forth in subdivision (a) of section 24-129 of this code.

(b)No certificate of operation shall be granted or renewed for the use or operation of equipment or apparatus unless the applicant shows to the satisfaction of the commissioner that the equipment or apparatus covered by such certificate of operation satisfies the standards established in the code or by rules or regulations promulgated thereunder in effect on the date of the issuance of the original certificate of operation.

(c)An application for a certificate of operation or any renewal or reinstatement thereof may be denied by the commissioner if any board penalty against the owner of equipment or apparatus which is the subject of the application has not been complied with or satisfied.

(d)If an owner fails to make an application to renew a certificate of operation within one hundred eighty days from the date of mailing of notice by the commissioner that such application is required, such owner shall be required to file a new application for a work permit pursuant to sections 24-123 and 24-125 of the code.
