Whenever the Fire Prevention Division shall find in, upon, around
or under any building or upon any premises or other place within its
jurisdiction immediate life-safety hazards to the occupants of such
building or premises, an order of cease and desist shall be issued
to the owner, owner-agent or person in charge of said building or
premises. Immediately upon the issuance of a cease-and-desist order,
the building, lot, structure or premises shall be vacated and shall
remain unoccupied until such time as all life-safety violations are
corrected and an order of compliance is issued by the Fire Prevention
Division. Nothing in this section shall repair or remove any violation
which causes the issuance of the cease-and-desist order.
