A. It is declared to be a public nuisance for any person owning, leasing, occupying, or having charge or possession of any property in the city to cause, or to permit, an alarm system on such property to be activated, other than by commission or attempted commission of an unlawful act or detection of smoke or fire which the alarm system is designed to detect. Any response from the police or fire department with respect to such a false alarm shall constitute summary abatement of such a nuisance.
B. Any audible alarm shall be deactivated within fifteen (15) minutes of activation; provided further, failure to deactivate within a period of one hour shall be considered a public nuisance and such alarm noise may be summarily abated. (Ord. 10-O-2591, eff. 1-1-2011)
