In addition [o the require- ments of Section 4•-209, Article ] of these regulations, the follow- ing provisions shall apply; (a) Delegation of Responsibility. The architect, structural engineer or civil engineer in general responsible charge shall employ or retain, under his/her supervision, registered mechani- cal and electrical engineers to design and observe the construc- tion of the mechanical and electrical portions of the work when these elements are significant to the safety of the building or its occupants or the continuing functioning of the building. The requirement for observation of construction of the mechanical and electrical portions of the work by the mechanical and electri- cal engineers may be waived where the mechanical and electrical elements are not considered to be significant to the safety of the building or its occupants or its continuing functioning and when special mechanical and electrical inspection in accordance with Section 4-21 l is provided. No delegation to or employment or retention of others shall be construed as relieving the architect, structural engineer or civil engineer in general responsible charge of his/her rights, duties and responsibilities under Section 16015 of the act and Section 4-217 of these regulations. (b) Assumption of Responsibility. The architect, structural engineer or civil engineer who submits for approval plans and specifications for any project or any portion of any project which have been prepared by others shall assume responsibility for the safety of design of the completed construction and for the inter- pretation of and any necessary amplification of the plans and specifications of the project. He/she shall manually sign all plans submitted for approval to indicate his/her assumption of responsi- bility or may in lieu thereof, sign and submit plans prepared under his/her own charge. (See Section 4-210 for other signatures.) When an•architect, structural engineer or civil engineer accepts the responsibility for completion of a project or a portion of a proj- ect relinquished by another, that architect, structural engineer or civil engineer thereby assumes responsibility as follows: 1. If the relinquishment occurs prior to the completion of the design documents, al] responsibility shalt be assumed. [See Sec- tion 4225 (c) for the procedure.) 2. If the relinquishment occurs after the design drawings and specifications have been completed and approved by the enforce- ment agency, the assuming architect or registered engineer shall be responsible for the construction of the project in accordance with the design of the relinquishing architect or engineer. The assuming architect or registered engineer shall assume responsi- bility for the interpretation of and any necessary amplification of the plans and specifications and shall manually sign any such documents prepared for that purpose. (c) Acceptance of Responsibility. The assumption of general responsible charge or of delegated responsibility shalt be clearly outlined, accepted and approved by the parties concerned includ- ing the owner. The enforcement agency shall be notified when any change is made in the individuals in general responsible charge or delegated responsible charge. Form SSS-i, Application for Approval of Plans and Speci6ca- tion5, provides for the common conditions of delegation of.re- sponsibility but for unusual cases, or for changes in responsibility taking place after the plans have been submitted for approval, the delegation of responsibility, acceptances and approvals thereof, shall be submitted in letter form in duplicate, which shall include an indication that the owner has been notified.
