B. Removal. The building official is empowered to require an unmaintained or abandoned low-power radio services antenna to be removed from the building or premises when that antenna has not been repaired or put into use by the owner, the person having control, or the person receiving the benefit of the structure within thirty calendar days after notice is given to the owner, the person having control, or the person receiving the benefit of the structure.
