§ 13-104. Inspection of Premises.  


Latest version.
  • Before the Borough Council shall grant permission, as provided in § 13-103, the premises where a circus or carnival or amusement ride is proposed to be located shall be inspected by the Police Chief, the Health Officer and the Fire Prevention Officer of the Borough, in order to ascertain whether such premises are suitable for the purpose and free from hazardous or dangerous features. The Council may cause any other investigation or inspection to be made in order to secure the facts needed by it in determining whether or not such permission shall be granted. The Council may deny such permission on account of the existence of any unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous condition, or because the location is deemed by it unsuitable on account of the creation of a traffic hazard, the lack of accommodations for the number of persons and/or vehicles likely to be attracted thereto, or the erection of unnecessary annoyance to the residents of the neighborhood. In every case, the Council, in granting the permission, shall state the type of entertainment authorized and the specific days and hours when such circus, carnival and/or mechanical rides shall be in operation. Such permission may be granted conditionally, dependent upon the taking of stipulated action by the holder of the license in order to meet standards of sanitation and safety.
