(A) A six-foot tall fence or similar barrier shall be erected:
(1) Around every property for which a permit for the demolition of an existing structure and the construction of a replacement structure has been issued;
(2) Around the perimeter of any open excavation more than one foot deep; and
(3) Around every property on which internal work is authorized by permit and the building or structure is not secure to the outside.
(B) The fence must be installed after the demolition permit has been issued, and prior to the commencement of the demolition. All safety fencing shall be located entirely on the lot for which the permit is issued, and may not block sidewalks or other public rights-of-way when opened. Fences shall remain securely closed during non-work hours and at any other time the construction site is unattended. No safety fencing installed pursuant to this subsection shall be removed until the condition of the property no longer poses a health or safety risk.
