A.

The fire department shall inspect upon such schedule as its resources permit those properties on which flammable vegetation is present or on which the possible presence of flammable vegetation may pose a potential fire hazard to persons or property.

B.

A fee in the amount of $61.00 shall be charged to each property inspected pursuant to this chapter. However, such fee shall be waived in the event that no violations of this chapter are identified upon such property or, should a violation or violations of this chapter be found upon a property, that such violation or violations are fully abated or corrected, within 30 days following the issuance of written notice of such violation by the fire department.

C.

In the event that the violations identified to the property owner are not abated within the allotted time period, the property owner shall be charged, in addition to the initial inspection fee of $61.00, a reinspection fee of $298.00 which shall compensate the city for two reinspections, evidentiary photography as well as processing of misdemeanor charges and of necessary documentation and follow-up by the fire prevention inspector.

D.

Should more than 2 reinspections of a parcel be necessitated by the failure of the property owner to comply with the provisions of this chapter, an additional fee of $142.00 will be assessed for each such additional inspection.
