(1) It is unlawful for anyone to activate any robbery or burglary alarm for the purpose of summoning police except in the event of an actual or attempted unlawful entry, burglary or robbery, or for anyone notifying the police of any activated alarm and having knowledge that such activation was apparently caused by an electrical or other malfunction of the alarm system to fail at the same time to notify the police of such apparent malfunction.

(2) Every person who possesses any premises with a burglary or robbery alarm shall maintain the alarm system in good repair and any person failing to do so is guilty of failing to maintain an alarm system. Three false alarms from any alarm system in any 12-month period shall be prima facie evidence of failure to comply with this subsection by the person having or maintaining such alarm. (Ord. 360 § 4, 1994)
