What is a validation number?
A – If you are the holder of a valid annual permit for roofing operations, land-based hot work or marine vessel refueling you are required to obtain a validation number prior to conducting that operation at each jobsite (or vessel) throughout the City. Validation numbers are issued for jobs that will not last longer than 20 days at any one location. If the job is substantial enough to last longer than 20 days, or you are conducting a roofing operation within the boundaries of the downtown Fire District, a validation number will not be issued and you will need to obtain a temporary permit for the site. The issuance of validation numbers allows the Fire Department to conduct random and unannounced inspections of these hazardous operations to verify compliance with permit conditions.
