Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 5:23-8.6 - Coordination with other permits

(a) When a building owner or an authorized representative on behalf of the owner submits an application for a construction permit for repair, renovation, or demolition work, the following information shall be required to be given to the construction official having jurisdiction before a construction permit is issued:

1. An architect/engineer certification concerning whether asbestos will be disturbed and to what extent it will be disturbed during the planned construction work.

i. Where any work not requiring an architect/engineer is involved then this certification will be required of the contractor undertaking the work.

(b) When it is certified that asbestos may become disturbed in a building or structure subject to this subchapter, an assessment performed by the New Jersey Department of Health, county or local health department, or by a private business entity authorized by the New Jersey Department of Health shall be required, unless the requirement for an assessment has been waived.

1. Boiler and water storage tank removal projects which require the removal of asbestos insulation from the boiler, water storage tank and piping shall not require an assessment before a permit is issued by the enforcing agency.

2. If the assessment indicates that the work and the disturbance which will result from it has made asbestos hazard abatement work necessary, then the construction official shall inform the building owner, or his agent, that all asbestos abatement work shall conform to this subchapter.

i. The work which will cause the disturbance will not be permitted to proceed until the hazard abatement work is complete or the asbestos-containing material clearly presents no further hazard.

ii. The construction official shall issue a partial permit for work which clearly will not disturb or interfere with the asbestos hazard abatement work.
