Whenever the state fire marshal or any deputy state fire marshal appointed or
employed by him or her makes any finding set forth in subsection (1) of KRS
227.330, or finds any property in violation of any provision of KRS 227.200 to
227.410 or any regulations adopted thereunder, in lieu of the order required in
KRS 227.330(1), he or she shall notify the owner or his or her agent in writing
of such specific finding and violation and instruct him or her to correct the
violation within a period of time not to exceed sixty (60) days. Should the owner
fail to make the required corrections within the specified time, the state fire
marshal may proceed to take any other action authorized in this chapter.
If the state fire marshal or a deputy state fire marshal is required to make
additional inspections, beyond the initial inspection and one (1) follow-up
inspection, to determine if the required corrections referred to in subsection (1)
of this section have been made, the state fire marshal or the deputy state fire
marshal shall assess a fee against the property owner to recover the cost of
each additional inspection according to the following schedule:
Third
inspection
fee.......................................................................................$100.00
Fourth
inspection
fee.....................................................................................$200.00
Fifth
and
subsequent
inspection
fee..............................................................$500.00
Any fee collected under the provisions of this section by the state fire marshal
shall be payable to the State Treasury and credited to the Division of Fire
Prevention for the operation of the general inspection program. Any fee
collected under the provisions of this section by a deputy state fire marshal
shall be payable to the fire department conducting the inspection.
If during a follow-up inspection or any subsequent inspection for the same
violation the state fire marshal or a deputy state fire marshal finds an additional
violation not found during the initial inspection, such additional violation shall be
treated as an initial violation which the property owner shall have the
opportunity to correct under subsection (1) of this section prior to the
assessment of a fee under subsection (2) of this section.
