§ 98-11. Violations.

A. 

Upon determination that a violation of the Uniform Code or this chapter exists in, on or about any building or premises, the Fire Chief or Fire Prevention Code inspection assistant shall order in writing the remedying of the condition by issuing a City of Lockport Fire Department "Notice of Violation — Order to Remedy." Such order shall state the specific provision of the Uniform Code, which the particular condition violates and shall grant such time as may be reasonably necessary for achieving compliance (maximum 30 days) before proceedings to compel compliance through Lockport City Court shall be instituted. Such order shall be served personally to the owner of the property or the person in charge of the premises, or by notification by registered or certified mail.

In case of the former, he shall also conspicuously post a City of Lockport Fire Department "CONDEMNED — NOT TO BE USED" placard at the location of the equipment or operation, and in case of the latter, he shall also conspicuously post a City of Lockport Fire Department "CONDEMNED — NOT TO BE OCCUPIED" placard on the premises.
