(a) Whenever an officer making an inspection under the authority of Section 16.12.010 may find, in any building or upon any premises, combustibles endangering any building or premises, the officer shall order the same to be removed or remedied, and such order shall be forthwith complied with by the owner or occupant of the building or premises; provided, however, that if the owner or occupant deems himself aggrieved by such order he may, within ten days, appeal to the state fire marshal, and the order shall remain in force unless revoked by an order of the state fire marshal.

(b) It is unlawful for an owner or occupant of a building or premises to fail or refuse to comply with such an order after the ten-day appeal period has passed or the state fire marshal has reviewed and upheld the order. (Prior Code § 6-202.)
