[Ord. 608, passed 3-4-1996]
For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall
apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different
meaning.
Any device, bell, horn or siren which is attached to the
interior or exterior of a building, which emits a warning signal outside
the building and is designed to attract attention when activated,
requiring the Police Department or the Fire Department to respond.
An electrically or battery-operated device, composed of sensory
apparatus and related hardware, which automatically transmits any
form of alarm or signal, including, but not limited to, a pre-recorded
voice alarm, upon receipt of a stimulus from a sensory apparatus that
has detected a physical force or condition inherently characteristic
of intrusion or fire.
Any signal activated by an automatic protection device or
any audible alarm given to the Police Department or the Fire Department,
to which fire and/or police personnel respond, which is not the result
of a burglary, fire, robbery or similar emergency.
[Ord. 608, passed 3-4-1996]
Owners or lessors of real estate must provide accessibility
so that the audible alarm or automatic protection device may be reset
if the alarm is not designed to reset itself.

In any one calendar year, the owner or lessee of any audible
alarm system or automatic protection device shall be subject to the
penalties set forth in § 1066.99 on the occurrence of any
false alarm, misuse or false activation which causes an unnecessary
emergency response by the Police Department and/or the Fire Department.
