(A) Whenever the Fire Chief or his or her duly authorized representative deems any chimney, smokestack, stove, oven, incinerator, furnace or other heating device, electric fixture or any appurtenance thereto, or anything regulated under a nationally approved standard in or upon any building, structure or premises not specifically mentioned in this Fire Prevention Code, to be defective or unsafe so as to create an immediate hazard, he or she shall serve upon the owner or the person having control of the property, a written notice to repair or alter as necessary and shall notify any other authority enforcing codes regulating such equipment.

Until removed that item or device which has caused the hazard shall not be used or be permitted to be used.
(B) When an apparent structural hazard is caused by the faulty installation, operation or malfunction of any of the hereinabove mentioned items or devices, the Fire Department shall immediately notify the Building Official who shall investigate such hazard and shall cause such hazard to be abated as required under the Building Code.
