3. A statement signed by the applicant or the applicant’s authorized representative signifying the applicant is in charge of such business, operation, occupation, or premises, and agrees to comply with all

If the application is for a permit for assembly occupancies, it shall be accompanied by three copies of a floor plan which clearly indicates the maximum capacity for the proposed use.

by the Chief.

4. If, after investigation and consideration of any application, and any plans or specifications required in connection therewith, the Chief determines that the proposed business, operation, occupation or premises
will not create any undue hazard as a result of fire or panic, and the applicant will comply with any requirements of this article and all other applicable laws, the Chief shall approve the application.

5. The Chief’s approval of the application may be made subject to terms and conditions necessary for the safeguarding of life and property from the hazards of fire, explosion or panic.

6. On approval of the application by the Chief and the payment of the required fee, the Office of Finance shall issue the permit.

The Chief may exercise discretion, and is hereby empowered to deny or withhold approval of a permit for which an application has been made if the building, premises, equipment, apparatus, vehicle, or reasonable

facilities for the establishing, maintaining, conducting operating the business, operation, occupation, or premises for which the permit is requested is or are insufficient or are unfit or incapable of being used, maintained, established, or operated to comply with this article or other applicable laws and the Rules and Regulations of the Department.

Each permit issued by the Office of Finance shall be in accordance with the provisions of this section and shall have set forth upon the face thereof the following:

1. The name of the person to whom issued;

2. The classification or type of business, operation, occupation, or premises for which such permit is issued;

3. The address where the business, operation, occupation, or premises is located; and where the address is different from that of the applicant, the address designated by the applicant or the applicant’s authorized agent for mailing purposes. The mailing address so appearing shall be the address to which all notices required or authorized in this article shall be sent unless the applicant or permittee shall request the Office of Finance, in writing, that another address be used for such purposes;

4. The signature of the Chief printed thereon; and

5. The date of expiration of the permit, and the date upon which the annual permit fee shall be due and payable.

No permit shall be transferable except when the business, operation, occupation, or premises for which the permit is issued, is transferred, whether by sale or otherwise, to another person under such circumstances that the ownership after the transfer is substantially similar to the ownership existing before the transfer.

Any change of location for a business, operation, occupation, or premises shall require filing of a new application and payment of the applicable fee set forth in Section 57.106.6.3.

Unless otherwise set forth on the face of the permit, every permit issued in accordance with the provisions of this chapter shall be valid for the year stated, or until voided, revoked, or suspended.

Power of revocation and suspension of permits shall be in accordance with Sections 57.105.3.9.6.1 through 57.105.3.9.6.3.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this article to the contrary, the Chief shall have the power to revoke or suspend any permit, at the Chief’s discretion, upon proof to the satisfaction of the Chief of violation by the permittee of the provisions of this article, the Rules and Regulations of this Department amended under the authority of Section 57.104.1.1, or the terms and conditions of any permit as may be specified under the authority of Section 57.105.3.9. Such revocation or suspension shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 57.105.5.

Whenever any person fails to comply with any provision of this chapter pertaining to contractor’s liability insurance or the payment of permit fees, the Office of Finance upon hearing, after giving such person ten days’ notice, in writing, specifying the time and place of hearing and requiring the person to show cause why the permit should not be revoked for such failure, may revoke or suspend any one or more of the permits held by such person. The notice shall be served in the same manner as notices are served under Section 21.16 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code.

It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in any business, operation, or occupation, or use any premises, after the permit issued therefore has been suspended or revoked pursuant to the provisions of this chapter unless the permit has been reinstated or a new permit issued. Any person who engages in any business, operation, or occupation, or uses any premises, after the permit issued therefore has been suspended or revoked pursuant to the provisions of this section, and before such suspended permit has been reinstated or a new permit issued, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

If the Office of Finance finds that any permit fee due or believed to be due under the provisions of this chapter cannot be collected, or that efforts to collect any such amount would be disproportionately costly in relation to the probable outcome of the collecting efforts, the Office of Finance may prepare a report setting forth its findings and the reasons therefor, and submit it to a Board of Review constituted as provided in Section 21.16 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code. On unanimous approval of a finding by the Board of Review, the Office of Finance may remove from its active accounts receivable any unpaid fee owing or believed to be owing from one person which amounts to less than $100.00. If the report relates to a claim for the fees owing or believed to be owing from one person which amounts to $100.00 or more, the Board of Review shall make its recommendations upon the finding and, if the Board of Review unanimously approves the finding, submit it to the Council with the finding of the Office of Finance. If the Board of Review does not unanimously approve the finding, the matter shall be returned to the Office of Finance. Upon the approval of the findings by the Council, the Office of Finance may remove from its active accounts receivable the amount so approved. The Office of Finance may include in a single report its findings and supporting reasons regarding fees due from more than one person.

Subsequent permit issuance will be based on inspections made during each following calendar year. The application may be denied or revoked by the Fire Department if the building is unfit or incapable of being used,

maintained or operated in compliance with this article, other applicable laws and rules and regulations of the Fire Department.

Each permit shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and shall set forth upon the face thereof, the following:

Whenever any person fails to pay the permit fee as provided for in Section 57.105.9.4, prior to its becoming delinquent, the Chief, upon hearing, after giving such person ten days’ notice in writing specifying the time and place of hearing, and requiring the person to show cause why the permit shall not be revoked for such failure, may revoke or suspend the permit issued herein. Notice shall be served in the same manner as notices are served under Section 21.16 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code.

1. No fee shall be charged for inspection of high-rise buildings used primarily for residential purposes (Group R Occupancies), except for hotels, dormitories, residential apartments, and condominiums.

2. As to hotels, dormitories, residential apartments, and condominiums, the charge per square foot shall apply only to the common areas of the building.

5. Where there exists beneath a high-rise building a garage serving both that building and another building(s), all of which are under common ownership, and the garage provides an exit(s) through which any

vehicle exiting the garage may pass, the charge per square foot shall apply to all buildings and to the garage for the purposes of computing the fee charged herein, even though one or more of the buildings served by the garage is not itself a high-rise building.
