§ 84-2. Noncompliance Fee*

If the Chief Electrical Inspector in the course of enforcing the provisions of this Code or any state law issues an order to a person and that person fails to comply with the order within 15 days following the due date for compliance stated in the order, including any extensions thereof, then the Chief Electrical Inspector shall have the authority to collect a noncompliance fee.

The noncompliance fee shall not be imposed unless the order states that a failure to comply within 15 days after the compliance date specified in the order will result in the fee being imposed. No more than one such fee shall be collected for failure to comply with an order. The amount of the noncompliance fee shall be $113.70 per building for Group R, Division 3 occupancies and $227.60 per building for all other occupancies, and shall be in addition to the fees specified elsewhere in this Code.
