Haysville Borough, Allegheny County

"Inspection, Safety, and Removal. 1. The Boroughs reserves the right to inspect a solar energy system for fire or building code compliance and safety. 2. If upon inspection, the Borough determines that a fire or building code violation exists or that the system poses a safety hazard to persons or property, the Borough may order the property owner to repair or remove the system within a reasonable timeframe. Such an order shall be in writing, shall offer the option to repair or otherwise correct the issue, shall specify the code violation or safety hazard found, and shall notify the owner of his or her right to appeal such determination. 3. If the property owner fails to repair or remove a solar energy system as ordered and any appeal rights have been exhausted, the Borough may enter the property, remove the system, and charge the owner and/or operator for all costs and expense of removal, including reasonable attorney’s fees, or pursue other legal action to have the system removed at the owner and/or operator’s expense. 4. In addition to any other available remedies, any unpaid costs resulting from the Borough’s removal of a vacated, abandoned, or decommissioned solar energy system shall constitute a lien upon the property against which the costs were charged. Legal counsel of the Borough shall institute appropriate action for the recovery of such costs, plus attorney’s fees, including but not limited to the filing of municipal claims pursuant to the Pennsylvania Municipal Claims and Tax Lien Act, 53 P.S. § 7101 et seq., for the cost of such work, 6% interest per annum, plus a penalty of 5% of the amount due plus attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Borough in connection with the removal work and filing of the municipal claim."
