Before a permit is issued for the wrecking of a structure that has one or more party walls in common with one or more buildings, there shall be delivered to the department of buildings a certificate by a licensed architect or licensed structural engineer to the effect that the adjoining premises do not require anchorage, or if such certificate indicates that anchorage is necessary, the certificate shall be accompanied by a drawing signed and sealed by such architect or engineer and approved by the building commissioner indicating adequate anchorage of floor and roof joists. The adjoining premises shall be anchored in compliance with such drawing. The written consent of the owner of the adjoining premises permitting the anchorage shown on such drawing shall also accompany the certificate.
