Full Breakdown
Under the city's amended Fire Code, the owner of a building with an installed fire alarm or detection system must keep those systems operable at all times. Anyone who maintains, inspects or tests the systems must meet NFPA 72 qualification requirements, and a written test/inspection record must reach the Fire Prevention Division within 14 days of completion. This is a maintenance and testing mandate for installed systems; the underlying requirement to install smoke alarms in a given building follows the adopted IFC and IRC.
Violations & Fines
Failing to keep a fire alarm or detection system operable, using unqualified test personnel, or missing the 14-day reporting deadline violates § 17.04.600 and is enforceable under Title 17's general penalty provisions.
