§ 931-302. Surfacing and barriers.

(a)

The ground or floor surface of every commercial parking facility shall be covered with concrete, brick, stone slab, asphaltic pavement or a similar durable and dust-free surface that meets the approval of the division of inspections. The ground or floor surface of the commercial parking facility shall be such as to provide a smooth, level surface for parking and shall be free of depressions, gaps, holes or similar surface aberrations. On due cause shown, the division of inspections may, in writing, allow the use, for a period of time not exceeding six (6) months after the commercial parking facility is opened, of a commercial parking facility that does not conform to this subsection.

(b)

The motor vehicle parking area in every commercial parking facility shall be enclosed by barriers, except at places of entrance and exit. If a motor vehicle parking and storage area abuts a building, barriers shall be erected to prevent motor vehicles from striking the building. Such barriers shall be sufficient to stop a motor vehicle rolling at a rate of speed of five (5) miles per hour. The division of construction and business services, upon written request by the registrant, shall have the power to modify or waive this subsection where it is deemed by the division to be unnecessary and unreasonably burdensome.
