Discuss NFPA CFI-I Exam Topic 2 Question 30

Which of the following is true regarding the copy of an issued permit?

AIt shall be readily accessible at each place of operation.

BIt shall be reissued upon completion of the project.

CIt shall be maintained by the architect of record.

DIt shall be transferable to a new address.

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.

But what about C? The architect should keep it, right?

I agree, A seems logical. We need it on-site.

I think A is correct. It makes sense to have it accessible.

A is the only one that makes sense here.

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

C seems right, but is it always the architect?

I thought it was B, but I guess not!

A is definitely true, I've seen it in practice.

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

Felicidad 3 months ago

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

Enola 3 months ago

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.

Kristel 3 months ago

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