Any owner, manager, lessee, or occupant of a building who discovers or who has reason to believe that there exists, on the premises, a condition which may endanger other property or the life or limb of any person, and such condition cannot be immediately remedied so as to remove any danger therefrom, shall, within twenty-four hours after such discovery, report the existence of such dangerous condition to the Director of Building and Zoning who shall forthwith take such steps as may be necessary to protect the public safety and welfare. If the Director of Building and Zoning cannot be located, such report shall be made to the Director of Public Safety. No person who is an owner, manager, lessee, or occupant of a building on which premises such a dangerous condition exists and who knows or should know of such dangerous condition shall fail to make such report to either the Director of Building and Zoning or to the Director of Public Safety within twenty-four hours after such knowledge is obtained or should have been obtained.
