If any settlement occurs in or under the surface or pavement, within one year, it shall be presumed that the project was not done properly. The city will send a notice by certified mail to the person, firm or corporation having obtained the permit for said work. The permittee shall have ten days upon receipt of the notification to correct the deficiencies, or the city shall have the work done and the permittee shall be assessed a fee of one and one-half times the cost incurred. This assessment shall be paid prior to issuance of any additional permits and in no case later than 30 calendar days after the project completion.
