§148.2.  Enforcement of Subpart

A.  The state fire marshal shall be responsible for enforcement of R.S. 49:148 and 49:148.1.  When conducting inspections authorized by R.S. 49:148 and 49:148.1 the authorized agents of the state fire marshal shall determine whether each building covered by R.S. 49:148 has met the specifications set forth in R.S. 49:148.1.  If the state fire marshal or his agents find that the specifications set forth in R.S. 49:148.1 are not met, the state fire marshal shall order the state board, commission, department or agency responsible for the construction, remodeling or renovation of the building to make the necessary alterations within a reasonable time specified by the state fire marshal.  No construction, remodeling or renovation shall be finally accepted by the authority ordering it unless the state fire marshal has furnished the authority with a certificate attesting that the construction, remodeling or renovation has met the standards set forth in this Subpart.

B.  On projects where compliance with any regulation of this Subpart is judged by the project architect or engineer to be unreasonable, the architect or engineer may so notify the contracting authority in writing, in which event the contracting authority may authorize in writing a deviation from the compliance with such regulation.
