§ 30-160. False alarm procedures.

A. 

Immediately after it has been determined that a false fire alarm has occurred, the owner of the fire protection system shall be given written notice of the occurrence by the Division of Fire Prevention. The fire protection system owner shall have 10 business days from the date of the notice of the false alarm to have the problem corrected and send a report of repairs to the Division of Fire Prevention. Failure to do so within 10 business days shall be deemed a violation of this article and shall cause the revocation of the fire protection system registration. To register the fire protection system after a revocation, the system shall be thoroughly inspected and tested, regardless of any previous inspection and testing that may have been performed. A report of such testing shall be made on a form specified by the Chief Fire Marshal.

B. 

If the fire protection system is not properly registered with the Division of Fire Prevention within 30 business days after the initial notice of the false alarm, an appearance ticket returnable in a court of competent jurisdiction and subject to the penalty provisions of § 30-16B of this chapter shall be issued to the occupant and/or owner of the premises, and in addition no owner or occupant of the premise shall continue the use and occupancy of the premise until the fire protection system is registered as per Subsection A set forth above.
