(A) Order to remove. Whenever any officer of the bureau of fire prevention finds, in any building or upon any premises or other place, combustible or explosive matter or dangerous accumulation of rubbish or unnecessary accumulation of waste paper, boxes, shavings, or any highly flammable materials, situated as to endanger property, or when the inspecting officer finds obstruction to or on fire escapes, stairs, passageways, doors or windows, liable to interfere with the operation of the fire department or egress of occupants in case of fire, he shall order the same to be removed or remedied.

(B) Appeal. Such order to remove or remedy any dangerous matter or situation shall be complied with by the owner or occupant of the premises or buildings, subject to filing an appeal, within four days after the service of such order to the town board. The town board shall, within ten days, review the order and file its decision thereon, and shall serve notice on the owner or occupants, and, unless the order is revoked or modified, it shall remain in full force and effect and be obeyed by the owner or occupant. No owner or occupant shall fail to comply with the order within ten days after its service, or, if he appeals, within ten days after the decision on appeal is made by the town board.

(C) Service of any such order shall be made upon the occupant of the premises to whom it is directed by either delivering a true copy of it to the occupant personally or by delivering it to and leaving it with any person in charge of the premises, or in case no such person is found upon the premises, by affixing a copy thereof in a conspicuous place on the door to the entrance of the premises. Whenever it is necessary to serve an order upon the owner, the order may be served either by delivering it to and leaving with the person a true copy of the order, or, if the owner is absent from the jurisdiction of the officer making the order, by mailing the copy to the owner’s last known post office address. (Ord. 442 § 7, 1970).
