[Ord. 00-1, 11/13/2000, § 1]
This Part is enacted for the purpose of providing rules and regulations concerning the implementation of the approval and regulation of alarm devices and automatic alarm dialing devices in accordance with 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 7511, Act 70 of 1998, as amended. The definitions contained therein shall apply to those terms set forth herein.
[Ord. 00-1, 11/13/2000, § 1]
1. 
Persons seeking to use an automatic alarm dialing device, alarm device, alarm or outdoor audible alarm shall first file a permit with the Borough and obtain the prior written approval from the public safety agency which shall be notified of and/or respond to an alarm. The cost of the permit shall be established from time to time by resolution of the Borough Council. The Borough shall furnish forms which any person wishing to apply for a permit shall submit with his application. An alarm system which produces both a fire and burglar alarm shall be considered separate, thereby requiring two permit approvals.
2. 
All outdoor audible alarms that can be activated falsely shall be subject to the same conditions applicable to automatic dialing devices that result in false alarms.
3. 
For the purpose of this Part, the use of a common alarm for multiple tenant or user premises which do not provide common access and entry to a fireman, policeman or other public safety officer responding to an alarm is strictly prohibited.
4. 
The owner of an unoccupied property shall be considered the responsible part causing or permitting a false alarm.
5. 
A person purchasing a premises in the Borough on which an alarm device is located shall not continue to operate the alarm device on the premises without obtaining or amending the existing alarm device permit within 30 days after the person obtains title to the premises.
[Ord. 00-1, 11/13/2000, § 1]
The owner of an alarm device, automatic alarm dialing device or audible alarm may file an affidavit with the Borough indicating under oath that the false alarms previously caused by said system were caused by known mechanical or other defect within the system (not to include improper use). Said occupant may verify and shall include a statement by competent workmen or repairman in the field that said system was defective and such deficiency has been corrected. Upon the filing of such affidavit with appropriate exhibits and the payment of the administration fee as established from time to time by resolution of the Council of the Borough, the false alarm concerning the premises shall be considered void and of no legal effect.
[Ord. 00-1, 11/13/2000, § 1]
In the event that an alarm system violates any provisions of this Part, the occupant of the premises on which the alarm is located may be prosecuted in a proceeding before the District Justice in whose district this Borough is located and, upon conviction, shall be required to pay a fine not exceeding $600 for each violation.
[Ord. 00-1, 11/13/2000, § 1]
The issuance of any permit shall not constitute acceptance by the Borough of any liability to maintain any equipment, to answer alarms nor otherwise to render the Borough liable to any person for any loss or damage relating to the alarm system or procedure.
