(a) All public service companies, corporations, persons and individuals proposing to dig, open or excavate in sidewalks, curbs or public ways of the City shall first give notice to the Director of Public Service stating the location, extent and purpose thereof and the approximate time such opening or excavations will be required. Upon receipt of notice, the Director shall issue to the persons or corporations giving notice a permit to make such opening or excavation, which permit shall specify the location and extent thereof and the length of time such opening or excavation may remain.

Such permit will be issued by the Director only upon showing that, by virtue of the location and nature of the work to be performed together with the equipment to be used in connection therewith, there is and will be during the hours of digging, excavation, opening or work, no substantial impediment to vehicular or pedestrian traffic and/or no substantial danger to the public safety.

Thereupon, the Director shall cause such opening or excavation to be backfilled, refilled, tamped and resurfaced, according to specifications set forth in Chapter 1103, and in such manner as in his judgment will preserve and prevent subsidence in the surface of such street or sidewalk.
