It shall be the duty of all those engaged in the work for which a building permit has been issued to take such precautions as the Building Inspector may request in the protection of municipal property, including pavements, curbing, tree lawns, trees, sidewalks and property of adjoining owners. Damage to municipal property not repaired within five days after notice to repair from the Inspector may be repaired in such manner as the Inspector may determine and the cost of such repairs may be deducted from the cash deposited as provided in Section 1307.03. Should the deposit be insufficient to cover such repairs and all other work for which it is security, and the resulting deficit is not paid into the Municipal Treasury within thirty days after completion of the work, such deficit shall become a lien on the property on which the construction work was authorized and shall be collected as other taxes are collected. A sum equivalent to five percent of the cost of repairs made on the authority and under the direction of the Inspector shall be deducted from the deposit to reimburse the Municipality for the time and expense involved. Failure to remove refuse and surplus materials from streets and from that portion of the land which is immediately adjacent to a public street, within thirty days after the substantial completion of work, shall constitute authorization to the Inspector to have such materials and refuse removed. The cost of such removal shall be assessed and collected in the manner provided for the making of repairs to municipal property.
