(a) Whenever the Fire Chief finds a dwelling, structure or premises, or any part thereof, to be in violation of any of the provisions of this Fire Prevention Code, the Chief shall give or cause to be given or mailed to the owner, agent or operator of such dwelling, structure or premises a written notice stating the violations therein. Such notice shall order the owner, agent or operator, within a stated reasonable time (but not less than ten days) to repair, improve or demolish such dwelling, structure or premises.
