§ 14.29.080. Response to additional hazard.

The fire chief may, as specific circumstances warrant, apply standards more stringent than those set forth in this chapter to particular properties or parcels when the standards herein would be insufficient to prevent the spread or intensifying of fire upon such properties. Upon making such a finding, the fire chief shall so inform the property owner, identifying the standard in question stating the basis for altering the standard and informing the property owner of the revised standard. The property owner shall be granted 30 days after such notice to comply with the new standard. No separate inspection fee shall be assessed for determining compliance with a revised standard.

Any property owner aggrieved by the imposition of a standard upon his or her property more strict than those established in this chapter may appeal the finding of the fire chief to the code enforcement appeals commission (CEAC). Written notice of appeal shall be submitted no later than 10 days following the date of the notice imposing the standard. Hearings shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapter 2.55 of the Pasadena Municipal Code and the rules of CEAC.
