The bond shall be conditioned that the person to whom the permit shall be issued, his or her heirs, successors, or assigns will save and keep the city free and harmless from any and all loss or damage or claim of damage arising from or out of the construction or use of the space, structure, vault, coal hole, trap door, or other opening therein mentioned; and for the maintenance of the public way or the sidewalk over the space containing the hole, trap door, or other opening, as the case may be, in a condition that the public way or the sidewalk shall, at all times after the structure, coal hole, trap door, or other opening is completed or the space is covered, be safe for public use and conditioned for the full and complete protection of the city against any and all litigation growing out of the granting of the permit or anything done under the permit and conditioned further for the faithful performance and observance of various provisions of this chapter.
(B) Whenever the Board of Public Safety determines that the sureties on any bond given for any permit issued thereunder have become insufficient, a new bond for the permit shall be filed with the sureties to be approved by the Board.
