No person shall construct, maintain or use any chimney unless the same shall be so constructed, operated or used so that the dust sparks, cinders, coal, ashes, smoke or fumes therefrom shall not become injurious or dangerous to the health, comfort or to the property of individuals or the public, nor materially impair the comfort of persons of the city. All such stacks now or hereafter used and operated shall be constructed and arranged in such manner and or such materials to be safe from causing fires, and shall be of such height from the ground as not in any manner to cause a violation of this section. Whenever any such stack or chimney is causing or in danger of causing a violation of this section, the owner or person responsible therefor shall at once cause such stack or chimney to be reconstructed or repaired of proper and safe material or arresting device, or to be raised to such height, or to be arranged within a reasonable time so that such smokestack or chimney will be in compliance with the provisions of this section. The city may, when any smokestack or chimney is dangerous to the health or safety of the inhabitants or injurious to such a degree as to be a nuisance, order the same torn down or extended up or otherwise remedied so that it shall comply with this section. The Building Inspector shall report all cases of violations of this section, together with his or her recommendations thereon. This law shall be operative within the city and within one mile from the city limits, and procedure under this law shall be that provided in the Uniform Building Code.
