No person shall operate or permit the operation of an alarm system which was installed on his or her property prior to the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 124-96, passed November 11, 1996), unless a permit for such alarm system is obtained within ninety days of the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 124-96, passed November 11, 1996). To obtain such a permit, the person in control of the property shall file an application therefor pursuant to Section 1074.03. However, this section shall not be applicable to an alarm system business or central station which monitors, services or monitors and services an alarm system installed and designed to protect property under the control of a person other than the alarm system business or central station. The person in control of the property which the alarm system is designed to protect shall be subject to prosecution if he or she permits the operation of such system without a valid permit.
