In the event a false alarm was, or may have been, the result of improper design, installation, or maintenance of the owner’s or lessee’s alarm system component, the Police Chief shall (except in cases provided in § 16-2-33 of this subchapter) notify the owner or lessee to cause the component to comply with the requirements of this article within the time specified in the notice, and may order the component disconnected immediately pending such compliance. Such notice may be either oral or in writing, in the Chief’s sound discretion. The ordered disconnection shall be done in such manner that signals are not emitted so as to notify the Consolidated Communication Center by a signal on its alarm panel, or directly or indirectly through automatic telephone recording devices, or to register a signal which is audible, visible, or in other ways perceptible outside a protected building, structure, or facility as to notify persons in the neighborhood who may in turn notify the Police Department.
