For a New Installation
To obtain a permit you must provide the following information with the completed application. Application forms are available at theTechnical Services Department:
Tape Location or Instrument Survey Map
Copies of this map are often included with the papers you received at closing or at the office of the mortgage holder. Frequently a copy may be found in the Town Property Records files. Please call ahead to determine availability.
Make & Model Number of any Manufactured Appliance or Chimney to be Used
Manufactured appliances and chimneys must be listed as tested by a laboratory recognized by the State of New York. Proof of listing usually accompanies the installation documents and, in the case of appliances, you will find a tag affixed to the appliance itself.
Make/Description of Required Wall and Hearth Construction
All appliances must be installed on a non-combustible base in conformance with the installation instructions for the equipment. These instructions often specify combustibility, size, and composition, including the heat transfer resistance rating that must be achieved.
Chimney Termination Location Information
You must be able to provide the distance between the proposed chimney and operable windows, roof, adjacent buildings, etc. When making your application, you will need to discuss this with the Technical Services Department personnel.
Contractors As Applicants (Requirements)
The contractor must provide a Certificate of Liability Insurance, which will be kept on file with the Town of Greece. A Certificate of Worker’s Compensation Insurance will also be required if a contractor has employees.
Permit Fees
Permit fees vary from year to year. They are user fees that offset the costs of permitting, inspection, and records maintenance. The State of New York requires records for this type of permit and inspections performed, and the Town of Greece must maintain these records and keep them on file for (7) seven years after the demolition of the building containing the appliance or chimney. For all practical purposes, these records must be maintained forever.
