Thinking of permanently installing a generator in your home?
After the mess Sandy left in her wake, many who lost power - and those still without - may be considering permanently installing a generator in their home.

The Village of Garden City reminds residents of the requirements:
  • Applications for Mechanical, Electrical and *Plumbing Permits  (* if unit runs on natural gas).
  • Fees for each permit are $115 for the first $1,000 of estimated cost, plus $15 for each additional $1,000 in cash or check payable to the Incorporated  Village of Garden City.
  • Copy of survey indicating location of unit which must be in rear half of property (or rear interior quarter on corner plots) and not less than ten (10) feet from any property line.
  • Two sets of plans, specifications, manufacturer’s cut sheets and installation instructions.
  • Worker’s Compensation & Disability Insurance Certificates (not Accord form) for each contractor.
  • Noise level cannot exceed 56 decibels at the nearest property line certified by an International Noise Control Engineer (INCE).
  • Inspections include, but are not limited to, roughing and final. Requests made at least one day in advance with permit number.
