(A) It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, partnership, corporation or association to move or to dismantle any building or structure within the jurisdiction of the city without a written permit issued as herein provided. Application for a permit to move or dismantle any building or structure within the jurisdiction of the city shall be filed with the City Clerk, shall be in writing and shall include a statement as to the location of the building or structure to be moved or dismantled, a statement as to the proposed route over which the building or structure is to be moved, a statement as to the equipment to be used in the moving or dismantling of the building or structure and other information as the City Council shall require. The application shall be accompanied by a certificate issued by the County Treasurer indicating that all of the provisions regulating the moving of buildings have been complied with on the part of the owner of the real estate upon which the building is presently located. The City Clerk shall refer the application to the City Council for approval. Upon approval of the City Council, the City Clerk shall then issue the permit; provided that, a good and sufficient corporate surety bond, check or cash, in an amount set by motion of the City Council and conditioned upon moving the building without doing damage to any private or city property, is filed with the City Clerk prior to the granting of any permit as herein provided. At such time as the moving of any building or structure within the jurisdiction of the city has been completed, the Building Inspector shall inspect the premise and report to the City Clerk as to the extent of damages, if any, resulting from the relocation and whether any city ordinances have been violated during the operation. Upon a satisfactory report from the Building Inspector, the City Clerk shall return the corporate surety bond, cash or check deposited by the applicant. In the event the basement, foundation or portion thereof is not properly filled, covered or in a clean and sanitary condition, the City Council may apply the money deposited for the purpose of defraying the expense of correcting the condition; provided, however, that, nothing herein shall be construed to in any manner preventing the city from recovering, by suit at law or equity, the amount of any expense of correcting the condition which is in excess of the surety bond, check or cash deposited as hereinabove provided.
(Prior Code, § 10-425)
(B) In the event that it will be necessary for a person, firm, partnership, corporation or association moving any building or structure within the jurisdiction of the city to interfere in any manner with the telephone or telegraph poles and wires, or a gas line, the company or companies owning, using or operating the poles, wires or line shall upon proper notice of at least 24 hours, be present and assist by disconnecting the poles, wires or line relative to the building moving operation. All expense of the disconnection, removal or related work shall be paid in advance by the person, firm, partnership, corporation or association engaged in the moving of the building or structure, unless the disconnection or work is furnished on different terms as provided in the company’s franchise. Whenever the moving of any building or structure necessitates interference with a water main, sewer main, pipes or wire belonging to the city, notice in writing of the time and rate of the building moving operation shall be given to the various city officials in charge of the city utility departments who shall proceed, in behalf of the city and at the expense of the mover, to make the disconnections and do the work as is necessary.
