§ 38-7. Service of correction orders.

(1)

The service of correction orders shall be made upon the owner. A copy of the service order can be delivered personally to the owner or by leaving it with the person in charge of the premises. Whenever it may be necessary to serve such order upon the owner of the premises, such an order may be served either by delivering to and leaving with the person a copy of the order, or if such owner is absent from the jurisdiction of the AHJ making the order, by mailing such a copy to the owners last known post office address.

(2)

Conditions that are hazardous to life or safety of the occupants shall require immediate correction. All other violations shall be corrected within a specified time or date, as the AHJ shall determine.

(3)

When the owner of any property or person in apparent control of the property is issued an order by the AHJ and fails to comply with the order, the municipality may do the work ordered and the cost of such work shall constitute a special assessment against the property upon which the work is done and shall be levied against such property pursuant to W.S.A., § 66.66(16)(a), cr. 9/15/92, 1518.

(4)

No person shall refuse to permit or shall prevent or interfere with any entry into or upon any building or premise by the AHJ who is lawfully on the premises or interfere with any such inspection. If consent to enter onto personal or real properties which are not public buildings, or to portions of public buildings which are not open to the public, has been denied, the fire inspector shall obtain a special inspection warrant under W.S.A., § 66.0119.
