Give Fire Department authority to issue administrative citations for fire code violations

Police & Community SafetyGovernanceFire DepartmentOrdinance

Resolution Ordinance No. 26-13

In Plain English

Currently, the city can only pursue fire code violations through lengthy court proceedings. This law allows fire inspectors to issue tickets directly for violations like blocked exits or faulty sprinkler systems. If approved, property owners receive faster notices and can appeal citations through an administrative process instead of going to court.
