Sec. A33-52. Abatement of hazard by Marshal.

(a) In the event any person or agency shall fail to comply with the orders of the Fire Marshal or in the event the Fire Marshal is unable to locate the responsible party within a reasonable time, the Fire Marshal may take such steps to abate the fire hazard as the Fire Marshal deems necessary for the protection of the public health and safety; provided, that in no event shall it be necessary to render any such notice prior to abatement when the fire hazard constitutes a clear and present danger.

(b) In order to make the expense of any such abatement a lien upon the property upon which the condition making necessary the abatement exists, the Fire Marshal shall request the Board of Supervisors for authority to abate the hazard and to make the expense of such abatement a lien upon the property, giving prior written notice of the hearing before the Board of Supervisors to the owner of the property.

(Ord. No. NS-300.705, § 2, 1-14-03)
