Sec. 7-40 Placement of Building Materials on Public Ways Prohibited. 7
   (a)   No person shall place building materials upon any street, alley or sidewalk without permission of the City Engineer and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by the City. Where necessary to properly protect the public in the nighttime, lighted amber lamps shall be placed about such materials. The City Engineer shall grant such permission if the public health and safety will not be endangered thereby.
   (b)   Any such contractor or employee thereof or the owner, if the owner is working on his own land, who fails to remove the building materials after the use of the streets is not authorized, shall be liable for the cost of such removal. The City, by and through its Street Department, may remove the same and the cost of such removal shall be charged against the property upon which such construction or other work is being done and the same shall become a lien upon such property in the manner in which taxes become a lien.
   (c)   This Section shall not apply to garbage or trash. (Code 1968, § 3.04; Ord. No. 82-2, § 2, 2-15-82; 1983 Greenwood Municipal Code, § 4-2)
