Fuel-burning equipment may be inspected by the Sanitary Inspector as often as he deems it necessary to determine that such equipment is in such condition that it can be operated in compliance with the provisions of the Sanitary Code of the Borough.
A. 
No person shall permit smoke, the shade or appearance of which is darker than No. 2 on the Ringelmann Smoke Chart, to be emitted into the open air from any fuel-burning equipment, internal-combustion engine, open fire, stack or chimney.
B. 
The provisions of this section shall not apply to:
(1) 
Smoke emitted from fuel-burning equipment broken down as a result of causes which a reasonably prudent person could not have foreseen.
(2) 
Smoke emitted during the cleaning of a firebox or the building of a new fire, the shade or appearance of which is equal to but not darker than No. 3 on the Ringelmann Smoke Chart, for a period or periods aggregating no more than three minutes in any 15 consecutive minutes.
The standard to be used for the purpose of grading the shade or appearance of smoke under this chapter shall be the Ringelmann Smoke Chart.
A. 
If, as the result of inspection, it is found that fuel-burning equipment is in such condition that it cannot be operated within the provisions of this chapter, the Sanitary Inspector shall give notice, in writing, to the person owning, operating or in charge of such equipment of such condition and order correction, repair or replacement of the equipment.
B. 
Failure to comply with this order within 30 days from its date shall be a violation of this chapter, and, upon failure to comply with the order, the Sanitary Inspector is authorized to seal the equipment.
Any person who owns, operates or is in charge of fuel-burning equipment and who has been convicted of two or more violations of any of the provisions of § 265-11 within any consecutive twelve-month period may be directed to show cause at a hearing before the Board of Health why the equipment causing such violations should not be sealed. The Board of Health shall give at least 10 days' written notice of such hearing. Failure to present evidence that adequate means and methods have been employed to correct the cause of such violations shall be authorization for the Board to order the equipment sealed until such time as satisfactory corrective action shall have been taken.
No person shall operate fuel-burning equipment placed under seal by the Board of Health or at its direction unless permission is granted by the Board in writing.
