§1675. Inspection of scaffolding, etc.; notice of defects; reconstruction
Whenever it comes to the notice of the building inspector or other city officer whose duty it is to enforce this Part in the particular city that the scaffoldings, stays, hangers, blocks, pulleys, slings, braces, ladders, irons, or ropes of any swinging or stationary scaffolding, platform, or other similar device used in the construction, repairing, alteration, removing, cleaning, or painting of any structures therein are liable to prove dangerous to the safety of any person, he shall immediately cause an inspection to be made of the scaffolding, platform, or device, or of the parts thereof.
If the scaffolding, platform, or device, or any parts thereof are found to be dangerous to the safety of any person, the local authority shall immediately notify the person responsible for the maintenance thereof and warn him against its use, maintenance, or operation. He shall further require that the thing be altered and reconstructed so as to avoid any danger. This notice may be served personally upon the one responsible for the erection of the thing declared unsafe or by conspicuously affixing it to the scaffolding, platform, or other device, or part thereof, declared to be unsafe.
After the notice has been served or affixed, the person responsible therefor shall cease using and immediately remove the thing declared unsafe or shall alter or strengthen it in such manner as to render it safe.
The officer whose duty it is to examine or test any such scaffolding, platform, or similar device, or part thereof, under this Section shall have free access at all times during reasonable hours to any buildings or structures containing such scaffolding, platforms, or similar devices or parts thereof or where they may be in use.
