JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
When construction or demolition activity occurs in an occupied building, barricades, signs, drop cloths, and other protective means shall be installed and maintained as necessary to provide reasonable protection for the occupants against hazard and nuisance. Such protective means shall be indicated on an occupant protection plan, or where a tenant protection plan is required by Section 3303.10.1, on a tenant protection plan.
In buildings containing any occupied dwelling units, including newly constructed buildings that are partially occupied where work is still ongoing within the building, all alteration, construction or partial demolition work shall be performed in accordance with a tenant protection plan as required by Article 120 of Title 28 of the Administrative Code.
The owner shall notify the department in writing at least 72 hours prior to the commencement of any work requiring a tenant protection plan. The department shall conduct an inspection of 10 percent of such sites within seven days after the commencement of such work to verify compliance with the tenant protection plan. The department shall conduct follow up inspections of such sites every 180 days until such construction is completed to verify compliance with the building code and tenant protection plan. Thereafter, the department shall conduct an inspection within 10 days of receipt of a complaint concerning such work.
If work is not being performed in accordance with the tenant protection plan, the commissioner may issue a stop work order pursuant to section 28-207.2 of the administrative code.
