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.
(Ord. 124-96. Passed 11-11-96.)
Each residential permit issued in accordance with this chapter shall be valid until such time that the control of the property is transferred from the permit holder. Upon such transfer of control of the property, a new permit shall be obtained.
A business permit shall be valid until such time as control of the property is transferred from the permit holder. Upon transfer of control or ownership of the business, a new permit shall be obtained.
(Ord. 124-96. Passed 11-11-96.)
The fee for a permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall be paid as provided in Chapter 210 of the Administration Code - the General Fee Schedule.
(Ord. 124-96. Passed 11-11-96.)
The person in control of the property on which an alarm system is installed shall:
(1) To receive notification at any time;
(2) To come to the alarm site within thirty minutes after receiving a request from a member of the Police Division and/or the Fire Division to do so, unless an approved Knox Box is installed, in which case the thirty-minute response requirement is waived; and
(3) To grant access to the alarm site and to deactivate the alarm system, if necessary.
(b) Train all persons who may activate the alarm system in the proper operation of the alarm system.
(Ord. 124-96. Passed 11-11-96.)
The person in control of the property on which an alarm system is installed shall ensure that the alarm system is repaired within seventy-two hours of the time of notification that such system is malfunctioning. Notification of the repair of the system shall be made in writing on a form designated by the Police Chief and/or the Fire Chief, and delivered to the Police Chief and/or the Fire Chief or his or her employee or agent.
The person in control of the property may cause such system to be deactivated rather than having such system immediately repaired, if he or she so desires. If he or she does deactivate such system rather than have it repaired, such system shall not be reactivated until it has been repaired, excepting all systems which are required to remain in continuous operation by statute, ordinance or the Fire Prevention or Building Code. In such instances, in lieu of disconnection of the alarm system, the Fire Division may require that a fire watch be maintained by the permit holder.
(Ord. 124-96. Passed 11-11-96.)
Any person who is notified by any member of the Police Division and/or the Fire Division of the activation of an alarm system and who is able to give access to the alarm site shall come to the alarm site within thirty minutes of the time such person is notified of such activation and shall provide any necessary access or assistance to members of the Police Division and/or the Fire Division.
(Ord. 124-96. Passed 11-11-96.)
Alarm systems which transmit a recorded message or coded signal of an alarm system activation via an automatic dialing device through means of a telephone call to the Police Division and/or the Fire Division, or via a telephone call to the Lorain County 911 Center or the Cuyahoga County 911 Center, for relay to the Police Division and/or the Fire Division, are hereby declared to be a nuisance and are prohibited.
(Ord. 124-96. Passed 11-11-96.)
