Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) The fire official shall ensure that the construction official and fire subcode official are notified when a notice of violation directs work which will require construction permit. He shall assist the fire subcode official to determine whether the work for which a permit is applied will correct the violation.
(b) The fire official shall ensure that a permit was obtained and any work done was approved by the construction official and fire subcode official before a violation is abated.
(c) Whenever, in the enforcement of the fire code and other codes and ordinances, it becomes necessary to subject a given building to multiple inspections in the same general time frame, it shall be the duty of all involved inspectors to coordinate their inspections and administrative orders as much as possible so that the owners and occupants of the structure shall not be subjected to inspections more numerous than necessary, nor to multiple conflicting orders. Whenever an inspector observes a violation of some law, ordinance or code of the jurisdiction that is not within the inspector's authority to enforce, the inspector shall report the findings to the official having jurisdiction in order that such official may institute the necessary corrective measures.
