(h) Penalties. Notwithstanding section 18-31 of the Burlington Ordinances, any person who intentionally disconnects or otherwise disables a smoke detector installed and maintained in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be subject to a civil fine of not less than two hundred dollars ($200.00) and not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00), with a waiver penalty of one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00). If a smoke detector is disconnected or disabled, that fact shall create a rebuttable presumption that the adult occupants of the dwelling unit were responsible for the act of disconnecting or disabling the smoke detector. (Ord. of 8-4-86; Ord. of 2-19-02; Ord. of 2-18-03)
