Give Fire Department authority to issue administrative citations for fire code violations
Police & Community SafetyGovernanceOrdinance
In Plain English
The city currently cannot issue citations directly for fire code violations like blocked exits or faulty sprinklers. Fire inspectors must rely on lengthy court processes to enforce safety rules. If approved, fire staff can issue immediate fines similar to parking tickets, making enforcement faster and more effective.
