The Commission may require that some or all utilities be placed underground. Such service shall be provided pursuant to the utilities' applicable rules and regulations on file with the California Public Utilities Commission.

Each unit within a Planned Condominium Development shall have all utility services connected to the unit and individually metered so that the metering will separately measure utility service usage. In the case of water meters this requirement may be waived by the Site Review Committee.

Each unit within a planned condominium development shall have its own circuit breaker panel for all electrical circuits and outlets which serve the unit. Such panel shall be readily accessible to the unit.

A program for ongoing rubbish collection which includes provisions for the location of rubbish receptacles shall be submitted to and approved by the Site Plan Review Committee for planned condominium developments. Provisions for rubbish collection and for the payment of fees for same shall be included in the conditions, covenants and restrictions affecting each planned condominium development.

Shock Mounting of Mechanical Equipment. All permanent mechanical equipment such as motors, compressors, pumps and compactors which, because of their rotation, reciprocation, expansion and/or contraction, turbulence, oscillation, pulsation, impaction or detonation, are determined by the Chief Building Inspector to be a source of structural vibration or structure-borne noise shall be shock mounted with inertia blocks or bases and/or bases and/or vibration isolators in a manner approved by the Chief Building Inspector. Domestic appliances which are cabinet installed or built into the individual units, such as clothes washers and dryers, or other appliances which are determined by the Chief Building Inspector to be a source of structural vibration or structural-borne noise, shall be isolated from cabinets and floor or ceiling by resilient gaskets and vibration mounts approved by the Chief Building Inspector. The cabinets in which they are installed should be offset from the back wall with strip gasketing of felt, cork or similar material approved by the Chief Building Inspector. Where such appliances utilize water, flexible connectors shall be installed on all waterlines. If provision is made within the units for the installation of nonpermanent appliances such as clothes washers and dryers, then permanent rubber mounting bases and surface plates shall be installed in a manner approved by the Chief Building Inspector.

Location of Plumbing Fixtures. No plumbing fixture shall be located on a common wall between two separate units where it would back up to a living room, family room, dining room, den or bedroom of an adjoining unit.

Separation of Vents and Lines. No common water supply lines, vents or drain lines shall be permitted for contiguous units unless there is at least 8 1/2 feet of pipe between the closest plumbing fixtures within the separate units. The Chief Building Inspector may approve other methods of isolating sound transmission through plumbing lines where their effectiveness can be demonstrated.

Isolation and Insulation of Lines. All water supply lines within the project shall be isolated from wood or metal framing with pipe isolators specifically manufactured for that purpose and approved by the Chief Building Inspector. In multistory condominium projects, all vertical drainage pipe shall be surrounded by 3/4 inch thick dense insulation board or full thick fiberglass or wool blanket insulation for its entire length, including the sections that pass through wood or metal framing.

General. Wall and floor/ceiling assemblies separating units from each other or from public or quasi-public spaces such as interior corridors, laundry rooms, recreation rooms and garages shall provide airborne sound insulation for walls and both airborne and impact sound insulation for floor/ceiling assemblies.

Air-borne Sound Insulation. All wall assemblies enumerated or alluded to in paragraph 1 shall be a type of construction that has a minimum rating of 50 STC (Sound Transmission Class). Wood floor joists and subflooring shall not be continuous between separate condominium units. Penetrations or openings in the construction for piping, electrical outlets and devices, recess cabinets, bathtubs, soffits and heating, ventilating and/or air conditioning intake and exhaust ducts and the like shall be sealed, lined, insulated or otherwise treated to maintain the required rating; and such treatment shall be approved by the Chief Building Inspector. Entrance doors to the unit shall be of solid construction and, together with perimeter seals, shall have a minimum rating of 30 STC. Such perimeter seals shall be maintained in effective operating condition.

Impact Sound Insulation. All separating floor/ceiling assemblies enumerated or alluded to above shall be of a type of construction that has a minimum rating of 69 IIC (Impact Insulation Class). Floor coverings may be included in the assembly to obtain the required ratings but must be retained as a permanent part of the assembly and may only be replaced by another floor covering that provides the same or greater impact insulation.

Verification of Sound Class. STC and IIC ratings shall be based on the results of laboratory measurements and will not be subjected to field testing. The STC rating shall be based on the American Society for Testing and Materials system specified in ASTM B90-66t or equivalent. The IIC rating shall be based on the system in use at the National Bureau of Standards or equivalent. Ratings obtained from other testing procedures will require adjustment to the above rating systems.

A structural pest report from a qualified private contractor approved by the Chief Building Inspector.

A project building report conducted by the Department of Building and Safety or a qualified private contractor approved by the Chief Building Inspector. This report shall include an inspection of the condition of roofs, foundations, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems as well as verifying compliance with subsection 30-18.4e through g.

The developer shall tender an unconditional offer to pay each tenant requiring relocation $500 in relocation compensation.

Any fees incurred for inspections or corrections required by this subsection 30-18.4 are the responsibility of the applicant and/or subsequent developer.

A surety bond shall be posted with the City by the applicant and/or subsequent developer of a planned condominium development for the purpose of assurance of maintenance of utilities, fire equipment, roadways and other portions of the development which impact on the public health, safety and welfare. The amount of the surety bond shall be determined by the Commission, but shall not be less than $5,000. In lieu of a surety bond, the applicant may deposit a cash bond in the amount determined as above. The bond shall be maintained for the life of the planned condominium development. The cost of the bond shall be the responsibility of the applicant and/or subsequent developer until 75% of all units have been transferred to private ownership, at which point the property owner's association shall become responsible for maintenance of said bond. Should the Commission determine that a default has occurred in the performance of adequate maintenance of the planned condominium development, the Commission shall instruct the Chief Building Inspector to notify (in writing) the property owner's association and the surety on the bond of the maintenance violations. Such notice shall state the work to be done, the estimated cost thereof and the period of time allocated for completion of such work. After receipt of such notice the property owner's association and/or surety must, within the time therein specified, either cause the required work to be performed or, failing therein, pay to the Department of Building and Safety the estimated cost of doing the work, plus an additional sum equal to 10%.
