Section 15-608. REMOVAL

 

608.1A PSP shall notify the Commission, in writing, no later than ten (10) days after removing a pay telephone, and may not install the same or another pay telephone after removal before registering that pay telephone pursuant to § 604 of this Chapter.

 

608.2 If the Commission issues a final order to remove a pay telephone, the PSP shall immediately terminate service to the instrument and remove it within ten (10) days.

 

608.3 If a PSP fails to comply with a written directive of the Commission or DPW to remove a payphone, the Commission may, in its discretion, impose fines pursuant to § 617.1, order the suspension of service to that instrument and/or order the termination of service to the PSP's other pay telephones until such time as the PSP complies with the Commission's or DPW's directive.

 

608.4A pay telephone owned by a non-certified company may have dial tone service suspended as soon as the phone is identified as non-certified by the Commission. A non-certified owner will not be afforded time for corrective action pursuant to § 618. All such equipment must be removed, by the owner. The Commission will give thirty (30) days' notice to the pay telephone owners to remove their equipment. Equipment in place after the Commission gives notice may be removed by the District Department of Transportation.
