§ 28-69. Alarm systems in apartment complexes.

(a)

A tenant of an apartment with an alarm system shall obtain an alarm registration from the alarm administrator before operating or causing the operation of an alarm system in the tenant's residential unit. The owner or property manager of an apartment complex shall obtain separate alarm registration for any alarm system operated in offices or common areas of the apartment complex. The annual fee for these registrations or renewal of these registrations shall be the same as the fee for a residential alarm site.

(b)

If an alarm system installed by an individual tenant in an apartment complex unit is monitored, the tenant must provide the name of a representative of the apartment owner or property manager who can grant access to the apartment to the alarm company.

(c)

For purposes of enforcing this article against an individual residential unit, the tenant is responsible for false alarms emitted from the alarm system in the tenant's residential unit.

(d)

Each apartment/office unit shall be considered an alarm site.
