SB155,1,2
1
An Act
to create
101.1115 of the statutes;
relating to:
requiring periodic
2
inspections of parking structures.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the owner of a parking structure to engage a professional engineer to inspect the structural integrity of the parking structure at least once within five years after the bill takes effect, and at least once every five years thereafter. The owner must also submit a report containing the results of the inspection to the Department of Safety and Professional Services or, if the city, village, town, or county within which the parking structure is located is authorized to perform commercial building plan examinations, to that city, village, town, or county. During the period beginning six months after the date by which the bill requires an inspection and ending 12 months after that date, an owner of a parking structure who violates the bill’s requirement is subject to a forfeiture of $200 for each month that no inspection is conducted. One year after the date by which the bill requires an inspection, DSPS must close the parking structure if no inspection is conducted.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
