It shall be the duty of owners or agents of any fuel burning, combustion, or process equipment or device to instruct, or cause to be instructed, the operators, operating crews, enginemen, firemen, janitors or any other person operating such equipment or device about the proper operation of such equipment or device.
The Health Officer is hereby authorized to issue notices of violation for the purpose of giving notice to persons allegedly violating any of the provisions of this Chapter or other ordinances relating to air pollution. If at the time of any original or other inspection, it is found that any fuel burning, combustion, or process equipment or device or premises is being operated or managed in violation or is in such a condition or so installed as to cause a violation of any requirements provided in this Chapter, the Building Commissioner or the Health Officer, as the case may be, shall give notice in writing within ten (10) days after the inspection to any or all persons known by him to operate or have control of such equipment or device or premises, of the defective equipment or device, condition, operation or violation. Such notice may be given by personal service to any person owning, occupying, operating or in charge of the equipment, device or premises involved, or by mailing a copy thereof directed by registered mail to the last known address of the person to be notified, or by posting a copy of said notice in a conspicuous place in or about the premises containing the alleged violation. Such notice may include more than one alleged violation and may specify a period of time for compliance, which shall be such time as, in the opinion of the Building Commissioner, or the health officer, is reasonably required to effect changes necessary for compliance. Such notice may contain an outline of remedial action, which if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this chapter and with rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto. The giving of notices is not a prerequisite to an abatement or prosecution. (1970 Code §11-1.06; amd. 1986 Code)
