Hazardous Materials Storage
An Operating Permit is required when (1) any hazardous material included in any category listed in tables
2703.1.1(1), 2703.1.1(2), 2703.1.1(3) or 2703.1.1(4) of the Fire Code of New York State is manufactured, stored or

hazardous occupancy, or has outdoor use manufacture, and/or storage of materials that exceed the tables for
physical and/or health hazard.
This type of Operating Permit will not be issued until an inspection has been performed and establishes to the
satisfaction of Village of Sag Harbor Fire Marshal that the requirements of the Fire Code of New York State are
satisfied. These requirements include the provisions of Chapter 27 of the Fire Code of New York State as well as
any specialized manufacture, use, storage requirements within Chapters 27-42 of the Fire Code of New York State.

be provided to the Village of Sag Harbor Fire Marshal. Tests and reports needed to verify compliance with the Fire
Code of New York State vary from product to product. Tests and reports may include:

Hazardous processes and activities
Commercial or industrial operations producing combustible dust - An Operating Permit is required when a condition
or process meets the scoping requirements of Chapter 13 of the Fire Code of New York State and is part of a
commercial or industrial operation. Chapter 13 references several different standards, based on the products
producing dust. The reference standards shall be used and compliance with such standards shall be submitted
prior to the issuance of an Operating Permit.
Fruit and Crop Ripening - An Operating Permit is required when a fruit or crop ripening operation meets the
scoping requirements of Chapter 16 of the Fire Code of New York State. The operating permit will not be issued
unless and inspection and/or documented testing demonstrates to the satisfaction of Village of Sag Harbor Fire
Marshal or his assigns that the ethylene generators meet the requirements of Section 1606 of the Fire Code of
New York State and that the appropriate safeguards are in place.
Waste Handling - An Operating Permit is required when waste materials that are considered hazardous are
reclaimed, recycled, collected or otherwise handled at the Premises. Examples of uses that trigger the need for
this Operating Permit include wrecking yards, auto dismantling facilities, junk yards, hazardous materials recycling
facilities, and the like. An inspection must be performed prior to the issuance of this type of Operating Permit; such
inspection must confirm compliance with any applicable sections of the Fire Code of New York State including the
general fire safety practices in Chapter 3 of the Fire Code of New York State.
Other Hazardous Processes and Activities - An Operating Permit is required for any other process or activity
determined by the Village Fire Marshal to be hazardous. Such processes and activities include, but are not
necessarily limited to, the following: [The Authority Having Jurisdiction should determine which processes and
activities are considered hazardous and will trigger the need to obtain an Operating Permit, and those processes
and activities should be listed here. Such hazardous processes and activities should be administered consistent
with local conditions. Processes and activities that commonly trigger the need to obtain an Operating Permit
include use of tents and membrane structures, airports, motor fuel stations, semiconductor facilities, and any other
specialized hazard that specifically regulated in Chapters 11-26 of the Fire Code of New York State.]

Appendix C
Pyrotechnics in Assembly Occupancies
An Operating Permit is required for use of pyrotechnic devices in any assembly occupancy. [Although Part 1203,
section 1203(g)(1)(iii), requires an operating permit for use of pyrotechnic devices only in assembly occupancies,
section 1203 (g)(1)(v) provides that an operating permit must be required for buildings whose use or occupancy is
determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction to pose a substantial potential hazard to public safety. See
Appendix E for further information.]
An inspection must be completed prior to the issuance of this type Operating Permit. The inspection must confirm
(1) that all fire protection and life safety features are inspected and have current maintenance within the timeframes
set by Section 901 of the Fire Code of New York State, (2) the existence and adequacy of fire safety plans and
emergency preparedness, and (3) that the means of egress are properly maintained, that interior finishes are
appropriate, and that occupancy calculations are correct. [The required tests and reports should be consistent with
the permit procedures found within NFPA 1126. The section in NFPA 1126 regarding permits and the annex
material provide guidance for the Authority Having Jurisdiction on what to request. An operating permit should be
required for each show or group of shows, and the Premises should be made available for inspection prior to each
event.]
IMPORTANT: Please note that section 280.00 of the Penal Law provides that in the absence of a permit issued by
the “permit authority” under section 405.00 of the Penal Law, it is unlawful to offer or expose for sale, to sell or
furnish, or to possess, use, explode or cause to explode, any “fireworks” or “dangerous fireworks.” Most
pyrotechnic devices fall within the definition of “fireworks” or “dangerous fireworks” under section 270.00
of the Penal Law.
Section 405.00 of the Penal Law provides that the “permit authority” of a state park, county park, city, village or
town may grant a permit for the public display of fireworks by municipalities, fair associations, amusement parks or
organizations of individuals. For a fireworks display within a state park, the term “permit authority” means the state
agency having custody and control of the park. For a fireworks display within a county park, the term “permit
authority” means the county park commission or such other agency as may have jurisdiction, control and/or
operation of the parks or parkways within which any fireworks are to be displayed. For a fireworks display within a
city, the term “permit authority” means the duly constituted licensing agency of such city or, in the absence of such
agency, an officer designated for the purpose by the legislative body of the city. For a fireworks display within a
village, the term “permit authority” means an officer designated for the purpose by the board of trustees of the
village. For a fireworks display within the territory of a town outside of villages, the termpermit authority” means
an officer designated for the purpose by the town board of the town.
AN OPERATING PERMIT FOR THE USE OF PYROTECHNIC DEVICES IN AN ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY IS
NOT A PENAL LAW SECTION 405.00 PERMIT. OBTAINING AN OPERATING PERMIT FOR THE USE OF
PYROTECHNIC DEVICES IN AN ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY DOES NOT OBVIATE THE NEED TO OBTAIN A
PENAL LAW SECTION 405.00 PERMIT. AN OPERATING PERMIT FOR USE OF PYROTECHNIC DEVICES IN
AN ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY DOES NOT MAKE LEGAL ANY ACT PROHIBITED BY PENAL LAW SECTION
270.00.

Appendix D
Places of Public Assembly with an occupant load of 100 or more persons
An Operating Permit is required for any place of public assembly that has an occupant load of at least 100 persons.
This Operating Permit is required to ensure that life safety and fire protection systems are maintained to the
applicable requirements. [The Authority Having Jurisdiction should determine the appropriate duration of an
operating permit for places of public assembly. Depending on the nature of the occupancy, it may be appropriate
to limit the duration of the operating permit to a relatively short period, and to require the applicant to apply for a
new permit, and to undergo a new inspection, on a relatively frequent basis.]
An inspection must be completed prior to the issuance of this type Operating Permit. The inspection (and any tests
and reports which may be required) must confirm (1) that all fire protection and life safety features are inspected
and have current maintenance within the timeframes set by Section 901 of the Fire Code of New York State, (2)
the existence and adequacy of fire safety plans and emergency preparedness, and (3) that the means of egress
are properly maintained, that interior finishes are appropriate, and that occupancy calculations are correct.

Uses and Occupancy Classifications determined by VILLAGE OF SAG
HARBOR - OFFICE OF THE FIRE MARSHAL to pose a substantial potential
hazard to public safety
[AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION may establish Uses and Occupancy Classifications that pose potential hazard to
public safety. If Authority Having Jurisdiction establishes such uses and occupancy classifications, the Authority Having
Jurisdiction should provide a list, with a brief description, under this appendix E.]
