Whenever a violation of this Life Safety Code occurs or is alleged to occur, any person
may file a written complaint. Such complaint, stating fully the cause and basis thereof,
shall be filed with and recorded by the Code Official. Upon being informed of a possible
violation or upon personal initiative, the Code Official may make or cause to be made
an investigation of the alleged violation. If the Code Official determines that there
is a violation, the Code Official may issue an order to the person responsible for
the violation as provided for in RSA 676:17-a, that the violator cease and desist
or otherwise abate said violation, or may give notice as provided for in RSA 676:17-b,
informing the person responsible that a violation exists and ordering that the violator
abate said violation within a reasonable time determined by the Code Official. If
after such notice and order such violation has not been abated within the time specified,
the Code Official may institute injunction, abatement, or other appropriate action
as provided for in RSA 676:15, to enjoin, abate, or remove said violation, or may
issue a summons as provided for in RSA 676:17, or may issue a citation as provided
for in RSA 676:17-b, or any combination of the three (3).
