No owner, agent or tenant in the City shall commence with the installation of any chimney, fireplace, stovepipe or wood- or coal-burning stove or appliance unless such person first obtains a fire inspection permit from the Fire Chief or his authorized representative. Following completion of the installation and before putting the stove, appliance, chimney or fireplace into use, the permittee shall notify the Fire Chief, who shall forthwith inspect the installation to determine that it is in compliance with the requirements of this article. If found to be in compliance with the article, the Fire Chief or his authorized representative shall countersign the permit and note the date of his inspection. If found to be in noncompliance, the Fire Chief or his authorized representative shall notify the permittee, in writing, of the nature of the noncompliance, and the stove, chimney, fireplace or appliance shall not be put into use until the condition has been corrected and reinspected by the Fire Chief or his authorized representative and the permit countersigned by him.
