Any property owner desiring to fill or partially fill a tract of land owned by him, may, before making such flu, apply to the Building Commissioner for a permit authorizing the same to be made, stating in his application, the location of the tract and the nature and the dimensions of the fill proposed. If the Building Commissioner is satisfied that the proposed fill will not interfere with adequate drainage for the area to be filled and will not obstruct or interfere with lawfully existing sewerage or drainage, public or private, or cause ponds of stagnant water to form, he shall issue a permit authorizing the fill.
