Rochester, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 7 § 7-8-34 establishes a notification requirement that applies when monitored fire alarm systems—those required to be monitored under the International Fire Code—lose their monitoring service. Whenever such monitoring is terminated, the fire alarm monitoring provider must deliver written notice to the local fire code official. The rule places the notification obligation on the monitoring service provider, not on the property owner or tenant.
