(A) During any construction adjacent to streets, care shall be taken to prevent mud or debris from being deposited on the street surfaces.
(B) Should this occur, any objectionable materials so deposited shall be removed as soon as possible in order to prevent danger to the traveling public or possibility of stoppage of drainage facilities; satisfactory removal shall be accomplished on the same day. The party causing such deposits shall be held responsible for satisfactory removal and liable for any damages or claims resulting from such deposits.
(C) Should any violation of the above occur, the city will give every effort to notify the offender in requesting corrections be made.
(1) If contact is made, the street shall be cleaned immediately.
(2) If the city cannot contact anyone, and the Building Official or the Public Works Director deems it a hazard or nuisance, then the city shall have the authority to make such corrections and bill the offender for the costs, plus a 50% penalty.
(3) If this is a construction site, and if this is not paid by the project's end, the Building Official shall have the authority not to issue a certificate of occupancy for that project.
(D) Mud deposited in the street due to erosion caused by rain shall be considered to be the responsibility of the owner of the property on which the erosion occurred.
(E) Failure to respond after notice shall constitute a violation, and the violator shall be subject to the penalties provided in § 10.99.
