The director of inspections shall examine or cause to be examined all buildings reported
dangerous or damaged by fire or accident or any other cause. Whenever any wall or
other part of a burned building is found to be unsafe or when any building or any
part thereof shall be unsafe for the purpose for which it is intended or used, or
whenever any machinery, material or staging used in or about the construction of any
building is unsafe for the purpose for which it is intended or used, the director
of inspections shall notify the owner, agent or occupant, or person in charge or control
of said building, in writing, specifying wherein such danger exists, and ordering
such dangerous building or any part thereof, or any such machinery, material or staging,
removed, taken down, repaired or altered, as the director of inspections shall require.
And thereupon the owner, agent or occupant, or person in charge or control, so as
aforesaid notified by the director of inspections, shall forthwith put such wall,
building, machinery, material or staging in safe condition, or take down and remove
the same. (Code 1960, As Amend., § 10.210)
