No person shall construct or install any hood, awning, or canopy over any public street or sidewalk of the city without obtaining a permit. The application for a permit shall be made to the Building Official. Upon approval by the Building Official and upon the payment of a permit fee prescribed in § 151.99 of this chapter, for each hood, awning, or canopy to be constructed or installed, a permit shall be issued to the applicant. The permit fee for recovering or repairing any hood, awning, or canopy shall be as prescribed in § 151.99 of this chapter. No permit shall be necessary, and no permit fee shall be charged, to construct or install movable awnings less than seven feet in length and width installed above the first story of any building. In the event that any public improvement project necessitates the removal of any hood, awning, or canopy, the removal or replacement costs shall be the responsibility of the property owner.
