It shall be the duty of the Fire Commissioner to cause an inspection to be made of all standpipe systems at least once every year by an independent contractor licensed under the Illinois Fire Sprinkler Contractor Licensing Act. Such inspections shall be schedule with, and may be overseen by or in the presence of, the Fire Commissioner. If such inspection discloses any violations of, or variation from, the requirements of this Code pertaining to standpipes or standpipe systems, or any defective conditions which would handicap the operation of the standpipe system, notice shall be sent to the owner or agent in control of the building containing such standpipe system to remove or correct such defective conditions within such time as shall be set forth in said notice. It shall be the duty of the building owner to pay to the Comptroller an inspection fee of $50.00 for each standpipe, other than a manual dry standpipe, inspected in connection with such annual inspection.
