El Paso City Code § 15.10.410 Right to inspect.

15.10.410 - Right to inspect. City reserves the right to inspect wireless facilities, transport facilities, and related ground equipment at any time. The city may perform visual inspections of any wireless facilities located in the public right-of-way as the city deems appropriate without notice. If the inspection requires physical contact with any wireless facilities, the city shall provide written notice to the provider within five business days of the planned inspection. Provider may have a representative present during such inspection. Provider shall reimburse city for the actual cost of an inspection of each individual wireless facility or ground equipment for each inspection that reveals that provider is in violation of the provisions of this chapter or its permit. (Ord. No. 18717, § 1, 8-22-2017)

El Paso City Code § 15.10.420 Failure to inspect.

15.10.420 - Failure to inspect. City's inspections, or the failure to do so, shall not operate to impose upon city any liability of any kind whatsoever or relieve provider of any responsibility, obligations or liability for provider's wireless facilities, transport facilities, or related ground equipment, whether assumed under provider's permit or otherwise existing. (Ord. No. 18717, § 1, 8-22-2017)

El Paso City Code § 15.10.430 Written notice.

15.10.430 - Written notice. City shall provide written notice to provider if an inspection reveals that all, or any part, of provider's wireless facilities, transport facilities, or related ground equipment are installed, used, or maintained in violation of this chapter or provider's permit. Provider agrees to bring its wireless facilities, transport facilities, and related ground equipment into full compliance with this chapter and its permit within thirty days of receipt of notice from city. If provider does not correct the violation(s) within thirty days as required, city may correct the conditions at provider's expense. When city reasonably believes that the violation(s) poses an immediate threat to the safety of any person, interferes with the performance of city's obligations, or poses an immediate threat to the physical integrity of service poles or other city facilities or the public right-of-way, city may perform work and/or take action as reasonably necessary to eliminate such immediate threat without first giving written notice to provider. City will advise provider in writing of the work performed or the action taken, including photographic evidence substantiating the violation and its cause. Provider shall pay city for all costs city incurs in performing the work or taking the action. (Ord. No. 18717, § 1, 8-22-2017)
