Upon receipt of the report described in Section 10.26.070 above, the Code Enforcement Officer or other authorized person may cause a written notice to be served by mail or personally upon the responsible occupant of the premises on which the alarm was located. Said notice shall indicate that a false alarm was made from said premises, and that steps should be taken by the owners to prevent future false alarms. Said notice also shall state that in the event of a second false alarm occurring on the premises in the same calendar year as the first, a service charge shall be assessed against the owner for every such subsequent false alarm occurring within that calendar year.
In the event that the owner of the alarm system is not also the responsible occupant of the premises wherein such alarm system is installed, then the responsible occupant shall, upon receipt of notice immediately:
A. Inform the owner of the alarm system and cause the notice to be delivered to the owner; and
B. Notify the Code Enforcement Officer of the identity of the owner of the alarm and that the notice has been delivered to the owner.
In the event of failure of the responsible occupant, when not the owner, to comply with the above notification procedure, then the responsible occupant shall bear the responsibility of the owner of the alarm as provided in this chapter.
