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.
