§ 228-4 — Storage of Materials

228-4. Storage of Materials.

1. All materials and equipment required in construction operations shall be stored and placed with a minimum hazard to the public and adjoining property. 2. Materials or equipment stored within the building or structure, or on canopy roofs over walkways, sidewalks or scaffolds shall be placed so as not to overload any part of the construction beyond its design capacity, nor interfere with the safe prosecution of the work. 3. Materials stored on the canopy roofs over walkways or sidewalks and on scaffolds shall not exceed one day's supply. All materials shall be piled in an orderly manner and height, so that individual pieces may be removed without endangering the stability of the pile. 4. No person shall store or place any material or equipment on a public thoroughfare without first obtaining a permit from the commissioner of public works to do so, in conformance with the requirements of the commissioner of public works. 5. Waste, debris or other similar loose materials being removed from a building or structure shall not be dropped by gravity or thrown outside the exterior walls but shall be removed by means of wood or metal chutes, or by other approved equipment. 6. All such materials which during removal cause excessive dust shall be wet down to prevent the creation of a nuisance.
