(a) The person to whom a building or street occupation permit is issued shall make a deposit of $5 for each front foot of the property on which the building operations are to be carried on to insure the maintenance of the street in a safe condition and to insure its complete restoration after completion of the building; provided, that such deposit shall not be less than $500. Whenever any pavement, curb, parkway, sidewalk or other public structure is damaged by the erection or alteration of any building abutting thereon by reason of the construction thereof, the same shall be restored by, or at the expense of, the owner of the building involved, or his or her contractor, to a condition as good and serviceable as prior to the beginning of the work.
(b) Upon the restoration as herein before-mentioned, if any, so much of such deposit as shall have been expended by the village for such restoration or for any other work done by the village and occasioned by the construction, shall be retained by the village and the remainder of such deposit shall then be returned to the depositor; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall preclude the village from maintaining an action against the person to recover the damage done to any pavement, curb, parkway, sidewalk or other public structure.
