Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Permits are required to document authorization for specific fire protection and safety activities. According to NFPA 1, Fire Code, and general permit guidelines:

Issued permits must be readily accessible at the location of the operation to ensure:

Inspectors can verify compliance with the permit requirements.

The permit holder demonstrates authorization for ongoing work.

Reissuing a permit after completion of a project (B) is not standard practice.

Permits are not the responsibility of architects (C) unless they are the permit holder.

Permits are generally non-transferable (D) because they are site-specific and operation-specific.

NFPA 1, Fire Code, Section 1.12.13: Permit requirements for accessibility and non-transferability.

Wait, can permits really be transferred? That sounds odd.

C seems right, but is it always the architect?

I don’t think permits are transferable to a new address, so I’m leaning away from option D.

I vaguely recall a question about who maintains permits, and I think it was the architect, so maybe option C is correct?

I’m not sure about the reissuance part in option B. I feel like permits are usually tied to specific projects, but I could be wrong.

I think option A sounds familiar; I remember something about permits needing to be accessible on-site.
