(1)Whenever the state fire marshal or any deputy state fire marshal appointed or
employed by him or her makes any finding set forth in subsection

227.330, or finds any property in violation of any provision of KRS 227.200 to
227.410 or any regulations adopted thereunder, in lieu of the order required in KRS
227.330(1), he or she shall notify the owner or his or her agent in writing of such
specific finding and violation and instruct him or her to correct the violation within
a period of time not to exceed sixty
(60)days. Should the owner fail to make the
required corrections within the specified time, the state fire marshal may proceed to
take any other action authorized in this chapter.
(2)If the state fire marshal or a deputy state fire marshal is required to make additional
inspections, beyond the initial inspection and one
(1)follow-up inspection, to
determine if the required corrections referred to in subsection
(1)of this section
have been made, the state fire marshal or the deputy state fire marshal shall assess a
fee against the property owner to recover the cost of each additional inspection
according to the following schedule:
Third inspection fee.......................................................................................$100.00
Fourth inspection fee.....................................................................................$200.00
Fifth and subsequent inspection fee..............................................................$500.00
(3)Any fee collected under the provisions of this section by the state fire marshal shall
be payable to the State Treasury and credited to the Division of Fire Prevention for
the operation of the general inspection program. Any fee collected under the
provisions of this section by a deputy state fire marshal shall be payable to the fire
department conducting the inspection.
(4)If during a follow-up inspection or any subsequent inspection for the same violation
the state fire marshal or a deputy state fire marshal finds an additional violation not
found during the initial inspection, such additional violation shall be treated as an
initial violation which the property owner shall have the opportunity to correct
under subsection
(1)of this section prior to the assessment of a fee under subsection
(2)of this section.
