[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
An emblem made of reflective material, in the shape and form
designed by the Emerson Fire Department, containing information identifying

Combination of materials used to form a construction for

any building or improvement with a roof.
The Borough Construction Code Official shall determine if a

serving the structure. The reflective symbol shall be applied by the
Construction Code Official or Fire Official and shall be a condition
before any issuance of any certificates of approval or occupancy.
The reflective symbol shall be in the form designed by the Emerson
Fire Department and will contain lettering to identify the location
of any light-framed construction materials, engineered systems or
similar methods of construction used in the structure.
This chapter shall apply to all structures, whether residential,
commercial or otherwise, including structures existing at the time
of the effective date of this article, and permits existing dwelling
to be identified and the emblem affixed to the exterior electric meter
panel.
This article shall be enforced by the Construction Code Official
and Fire Official of the Borough of Emerson.
Any person violating this article by refusing to use the reflective
symbol or by removing or tampering with the reflective symbol shall
be subject to a fine in an amount of $250 per violation. Each day
that a violation continues shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct
offense.
