When the building official determines that any building service equipment regulated by the technical codes has become hazardous to life, health, property, or becomes unsanitary, the building official shall order in writing that such equipment either be removed or restored to a safe or sanitary condition. The written notice itself shall fix a time limit for compliance with such order. No person shall use or maintain defective building service equipment after receiving such notice.
When such equipment or installation is to be disconnected, a written notice of such disconnection and causes therefore shall be given at least twenty-four hours prior to the disconnection to the serving utility, the owner and occupant of such building, structure or premises.
When any building service equipment is maintained in violation of the technical codes and in violation of any notice issued pursuant to the provisions of this section, the building official shall institute any appropriate action to prevent, restrain, correct or abate the violation.
