§ 27-4104 Liquefied chlorine. a. Permit required. It shall be unlawful to store, sell, use or transport any liquefied chlorine without a permit. b. Certificate of fitness. It shall be unlawful to use any liquefied chlorine except under the constant supervision of a person holding a certificate of fitness. c. Compression. It shall be unlawful to compress any chlorine gas in the city. d. Storage and use. Liquefied chlorine gas may be stored only in quantities specified by the commissioner, and under the following conditions: 1. In approved fireproof buildings used exclusively for the storage of liquefied chlorine. Such building shall be designed and constructed in accordance with all applicable provisions of the building code. 2. In enclosed lots or yards in sparsely settled sections, in the discretion of the commissioner, and under such restrictions as he or she may deem necessary. 3. In buildings used for other purposes than the storage of liquefied chlorine, on the ground floor only, provided the containers of liquefied chlorine are located in a room or compartment constructed of fireproof or fire retarding material, which is easily accessible from the street or yard. If the room or compartment is not easily accessible from the street or yard, it shall be provided with an approved automatic sprinkler system by means of which the compartment may be readily flooded with water, all of which shall be in accordance with plans approved by the commissioner. The cylinders of chlorine gas may be placed in a receptacle, approved by the commissioner, so arranged as to be automatically flooded with cold water from a reliable source in case of fire. 4. No permit shall be issued for the use of liquefied chlorine above the grade floor, except in a building occupied exclusively by the person, firm or corporation using the liquefied chlorine and which is protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system. 5. The number of liquefied gas cylinders permitted above the grade floor shall not in any case exceed in number twice the number actually connected and in use at any one time, and the cylinders shall be supported from the ground in such manner as not to be dependent for support upon any non-fireproof portion of the building construction. 6. No permit shall be issued for the storage or use of liquefied chlorine in any building used for a hotel, lodging house, tenement house, or dwelling, or in any building, lot or enclosure located within fifty feet of the nearest wall of a building occupied as a hospital, school, theatre or other place of public amusement or assembly. e. Sale. It shall be unlawful to sell any liquefied chlorine for use within the city, unless the purchaser holds a permit to store or use liquefied chlorine.
