(h) The person responsible for building materials in sewers shall be liable for the expense of removing same and the damage caused thereby. Such expense shall be charged to and collected from such person by the City.
(i) No building material or temporary structures of any kind shall be placed so as to obstruct the sight of, the free approach to and the use of any fire hydrant, sprinkler connection, fire alarm box, police call box, traffic signal box, street light manhole or catch basin, or to obstruct the sight of any traffic signal from any point where it is intended that it should be seen.
(j) The sidewalk space may be occupied for building construction purposes, when approved by the Building Superintendent, provided a temporary fence, walk or covered walk is constructed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1339.03, 1339.04 and 1339.05, and such fence, walk or covered walk is properly maintained.
(k) No material shall be stored beyond the inner edge of such walk or covered walk or on the outside of a fence enclosure.
