While most of the commercial properties and construction contractors comply with the code, there are unfortunately some who do not and are often repeat offenders. Staff is requesting to amend Part Thirteen, Public Safety, Chapter One, Fire Prevention Code, Section 13 -102, Fire Department to Enforce Code, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Owasso, Oklahoma for clarification on fire code enforcement and to provide language for the issuance of citations for code violations.

The Fire Chief of the Owasso Fire Department and designees may be authorized to issue a citation for violations of the Fire code as adopted in Section 13 -101 of the Owasso Code of Ordinances and for violations of such other provisions within the Owasso Code of Ordinances that may be appropriate. The citations shall state the date, location, and violation and shall direct the defendant to appear in the Owasso Municipal Court on a designated day and /or pay the required fine by the designated court date. The citation shall state that if the defendant fails to appear within the time specified or pay the fine, a warrant for failure to appear or failure to pay may be issued, which may result in the defendant being arrested. B. The Fire Chief may appoint members of the Fire Department as inspectors as needed.
