(a) Any vacant or unoccupied building or structure determined after inspection by the Fire Department or a Municipal Fire Safety Inspector to be especially liable to fire or to endanger life or other property by reason of damage, lack of repair, age or dilapidation, shall be identified and marked by the Fire Department or Municipal Fire Safety Inspector to indicate the hazard.
(b) In marking such building, the following symbols shall be used:
 | This symbol means that severe structural deficiencies or severe interior deficiencies exist to such a degree that operations shall be from the outside except for when a credible life hazard exists. |
(c) All markings required by this section shall be applied on the front of the building in close proximity to the front entrance, and in a location visible from the street where practical. Markings may be applied to the sides or the rear of a building if the Fire Department deems such placement necessary. Markings shall not be applied over doors, windows, or other openings where they may be obscured by smoke or fire.
(d) Markings shall be a minimum of twenty-four (24) inches by twenty-four (24) inches. Markings shall either be on a placard with a reflective background or painted with a reflective paint of contrasting color directly on the surface of the building.
