[Amended 4-17-2020 by L.L. No. 3-2020]
A.
The purpose
of this chapter is to establish standards and controls for the various
types of fire, intrusion, holdup and other emergency signals from
fire and police alarm devices that require Fire Department or police
response, investigation or safeguarding of property at the location
of an event reported by a signal which is transmitted by telephone
or radio to the Police or Fire Department from a central station as
hereinafter defined.
B.
This chapter
requires owners and lessees of property, both residential and nonresidential,
upon which fire and/or police alarm systems have been installed to
register the same with the Village Clerk. In addition, all commercial
structures, and new residential structures, or existing residential
properties for which a building permit is issued, having fire alarm
systems which, when activated, transmit a signal to a central alarm
station shall be required to provide a key lock box and, if required
by the Fire Marshal, an information storage cabinet, which will assist
the responding fire department in gaining access to the premises,
as well as providing important information which can assist the responding
emergency services department during an emergency call.
