§ 94-536. Building codes: Safety standards.  


Latest version.
  • To ensure the structural integrity of towers, the owner, permittee or subsequent lessee of a tower or alternative tower structure shall ensure that it is maintained in compliance with standards contained in applicable local building codes. If, upon inspection, the department concludes that a tower fails to comply with all applicable codes and standards, or constitutes a danger to persons or property, then upon receipt of written notice by the owner, permittee, or lessee of the tower, said party shall have 15 days to bring the tower into compliance with such standards. If the owner, permittee, or lessee fails to bring the tower into compliance within the 15-day period, the governing authority may remove the tower at the owner, permittee, or lessee's expense. Prior to the removal of any tower, the department may consider detailed plans submitted by the owner, permittee, or subsequent lessee for repair of substandard towers, and may grant a reasonable extension of the above referenced compliance period. Any such removal by the governing authority shall be in the manner provided in O.C.G.A. §§ 41-2-7—41-2-17.
