In any building operation which would require the driving of vehicles or equipment upon or across any public sidewalk abutting the premises, the applicant shall obtain from the commissioner a certificate of prior inspection which shall state the condition of the sidewalk before construction is started. The commissioner is hereby authorized to charge a fee of $10.00 for each such prior inspection, to estimate probable damage that might be caused to such public sidewalk by the driving of vehicles or equipment thereon, and to require a deposit by the applicant of moneys sufficient to restore said sidewalk to a condition as good as it was before construction was started.
When the commissioner receives satisfactory proof that the affected sidewalk has been restored to a condition equally as good as before the permitted work, he shall certify this fact to the city comptroller. The comptroller shall thereupon direct the city treasurer to refund the amount deposited in connection with the permit.
