 An  application for the renewal of a construction equipment permit for a
 sidewalk shed used in connection with the alteration of a building shall
 be accompanied by a report, acceptable to the department, prepared by  a
 registered  design  professional who has examined that part of the prem-
 ises on which the work requiring the use of a  sidewalk  shed  is  being
 performed.  Such  report  shall document the condition of the applicable
 part of the premises and the scope of work that has been performed ther-
 eon since the issuance of the permit and shall provide  an  estimate  of
 the additional time needed to complete the work.
   NO  SIDEWALK  SHED  PERMIT  SHALL  BE  RENEWED UNLESS THE COMMISSIONER
 DETERMINES THAT SUCH SIDEWALK SHED IS BEING USED AS PART OF  AN  ONGOING
 CONSTRUCTION  PROJECT.  IN  MAKING  SUCH DETERMINATION, THE COMMISSIONER
 SHALL CONDUCT AN INSPECTION OF THE  CONSTRUCTION  SITE  FOR  WHICH  SUCH
 PERMIT  RENEWAL  IS SOUGHT. A CONTRACTOR OR LICENSEE SHALL SUBMIT TO THE

 SUBJECT TO A CIVIL PENALTY NOT TO EXCEED ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
