1098.21 PERMIT REVOCATION.
   A permit for an alarm system may be revoked if mechanical malfunction or faulty equipment has caused five or more false alarms by such alarm system in the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of notice of a hearing. However, a permit for an alarm system shall be revoked without a hearing if the permit holder fails to pay the service charge within thirty days of receipt of notice to pay for a false alarm. A protest may be filed and if, at a subsequent hearing as provided in Section 1098.22, the Safety Director or his or her designee determines that no service charge is due, the City shall refund the same. "Mechanical malfunction" and "faulty equipment" shall not relate, for purposes of this section, to false alarms caused by human error or an act of God. A permit shall not be revoked if the permit holder shows that since the most recent false alarm from such alarm system, the system has been repaired, and the Police Department or the Fire Department has inspected such alarm system and found it to have been properly repaired.
