An owner to whom a notice to disconnect or deactivate an alarm system pursuant to §
98-12 shall be entitled to appeal the order of the Alarm Review Board to the Butler Code Management Appeals Board. An appeal must be in writing, stating the reasons why the order to disconnect or deactivate should be withdrawn and shall be presented to the Secretary of the Appeals Board (City Clerk) and shall be made within fifteen (15) days of the date of the notice to disconnect. The appeal of an order to disconnect or deactivate shall suspend the effective date of the order until the appeal has been acted upon by the Butler Code Management Appeals Board.
It shall be unlawful for any person to fail to disconnect or deactivate an alarm system which has been ordered disconnected or deactivated pursuant to §
98-12, including those situations in which the Butler Code Management Appeals Board affirmed the order to disconnect or deactivate, and it shall be unlawful for any person to reconnect an alarm system which has been disconnected or deactivated pursuant to the order of the Enforcement Official, unless reconnection of the alarm system is authorized pursuant to §
98-15. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be subject to penalties provided for in the appropriate sections of this chapter, the penalty being cumulative to other administrative remedies provided for in this chapter.
The contractor or company shall provide the Code Official with an approved
certificate indicating that the system is installed in compliance with adopted
city codes and appropriate acceptance tests have been conducted.
This chapter replaces Ordinance 1376 enacted on March 4, 1993, but does
not negate other adopted city codes or governmental bodies' requirements,
and, when in conflict, the most stringent provisions of the law shall prevail.
The City of Butler, its officers, employees and agents shall not assume
any duty or responsibility for the installation, maintenance, operation, repair
or effectiveness of any alarm system, those duties or responsibilities being
solely those of the owner of the premises. Additionally, it shall be the responsibility
of the owner of the premises to silence an activated alarm. An activated alarm
shall not be reset unless the owner received permission to reset the alarm
by an Enforcement Official. The city shall not provide or make available the
service of its Police or Bureau of Fires as an Emergency Communications Center
for use by owners of alarm systems as a central location for alarm receiving
equipment.
