(A) In the event the activation of a fire alarm system is deemed by the enforcement official to be a nuisance fire alarm, the owner or authorized representative shall be served with a fire alarm activation report, within 5 business days, by an officer or member of the Fire Department, indicating that the activation was deemed to be the result of a nuisance fire alarm.
(B) This shall require the owner or authorized representative to return a completed report of service/repair within 15 calendar days of receipt of the fire alarm activation report to verify, to the reasonable satisfaction of the enforcement official, that the fire alarm system has actually been examined by a qualified fire alarm technician; and a bona fide attempt has been made to identify and correct any defect of design, installation or operation of the fire alarm system which was identifiable as the cause of the nuisance fire alarm.
(C) Failure to return a report of service/repair within said 15 calendar day period, which is reasonably satisfactory to the enforcement official, shall result in assessment against the owner of a fee set by resolution in the same amount as set for false alarms for the nuisance fire alarm.
