Such amounts shall be acceptable to and approved by the Building Department and written by an insurance company authorized to carry on business and write such policy in the State. Such property damage insurance shall cover damage to streets, sidewalks, utility services or other property of the City. This section shall not apply to any person wrecking or dismantling his own building, provided such building is not within fifteen feet of any public lands, buildings or rights of way. (Ord. 9-20.
