These key boxes and padlocks shall be a type approved by the
Fire Chief and shall be located and installed as approved by the Fire
Chief or their designee.
This bylaw shall be retroactive to all such buildings within
the Town of Mansfield. Existing buildings shall have six months to
comply with this bylaw after receiving due notice from the Fire Department.
In the case of new construction, such key boxes, padlocks and keys
shall be provided prior to occupancy and/or final inspections.
Cabinet-style vaults for hazardous materials information, material
safety data sheets, site plans, floor plans and other pertinent building
information shall be used when the property has hazardous material
on site or in the building or as otherwise determined by the Chief
of the Fire Department or their designee.
The owner or occupant is responsible for the ordering and installation
of said equipment by picking up an approved order form from the Fire
Department.
The secured access system and cabinet-style vault shall have
a single lock and may be tied into an alarm system by means of a switch
to indicate that an entry has been made. If the building is protected
by a burglar system, this alarm switch may be connected so that if
the box is opened or removed from the building, an alarm will sound.
Any building owner violating this bylaw, after receiving due
notice from the Fire Department, shall be subject to a fine of $50
per week.
