(A) If the property upon which a small wind turbine facility is located, sold or otherwise transferred, or the wind turbine structure is in any way abandoned or neglected or becomes dilapidated, the seller or conveyor of such premises shall cause the facility to be dismantled completely, including all support structures and appurtenances, and removed from the property. However, if the purchase contract or other means of conveyance provides specifically for the wind turbine facility to remain in place for use by the successive possessor of the property, then this section shall not apply.
(B) The owner and any subsequent purchaser or transferee of a small wind turbine facility shall be required to post and maintain a performance bond satisfactory to the Building Commissioner in an amount equivalent to the cost of removing a tower if it is abandoned.
