(a) All equipment used in installations for which a permit is required shall meet the applicable standards of the Underwriters Laboratories of the United States and of Canada, Factory Mutual, the National Fire Protection Association or other recognized industry standard. An applicant may be required to submit evidence of the reliability and suitability of the equipment to be installed.
(b) The Chief of Police and the Fire Chief or their designated representative shall have the authority, at reasonable times, and upon oral notice, to enter upon any premises within the City, to inspect only the installation and operation of an alarm system, the purpose of which is to report an emergency to the Police or Fire Departments. In the event the premises to be inspected is a private dwelling, such inspection shall only be done between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and only if the notice is in written form addressed to the permitholder and presented to a responsible adult. Under this chapter, such residences are only subject to the above inspection after three false alarms have originated from them. The written notice shall cite the specific false alarm history of that permit. Failure to allow reasonable inspection of such alarm system may be grounds for revocation of the alarm permit.
(c) The Chief of Police or Fire Chief may require that repairs or adjustments be made whenever he has determined that such are necessary to assure proper operation. Failure to make such repairs or adjustments may be grounds for revocation of the alarm permit.
