(A) After the Fire Department has recorded two false alarms within a calendar month for any alarm user, the Fire Department shall notify the alarm user and the alarm business providing service or inspection to the alarm user, in writing by first class mail, of such fact, and require that the alarm user or the alarm business servicing the alarm user submit a report to the Fire Chief within seven days after the mailing of the notice, which report shall describe efforts taken to discover and eliminate the cause or causes of the false alarm. Failure to submit the report within seven days shall constitute cause for revocation of the alarm system permit. If the Fire Chief revokes the alarm system permit, the Fire Chief shall give written notice by first class mail to the alarm user and the alarm business servicing the alarm user advising of the revocation.
(B) If the report required by this section fails to show that reasonable steps have been taken to eliminate or reduce false alarms, then the Fire Chief may revoke the alarm system permit and shall give written notice of the revocation as provided for in this section.
(C) An alarm user whose alarm system permit has been revoked is not precluded from applying for a new alarm system permit. The Fire Chief, however, is not required to issue a new alarm system permit unless he or she is satisfied the alarm user's system has been properly serviced and its deficiencies corrected. The Fire Chief may impose reasonable restrictions and conditions upon the issuance of a new alarm system permit to an alarm user with respect to the particular system for which the alarm system permit was revoked.
(D) In the event more than two false alarms are received by the Fire Department within a calendar month and the Fire Chief does not revoke the alarm system permit, then there may be assessed against the alarm user a fee of $30 for each false alarm thereafter transmitted within a calendar month.
