No person, firm or corporation shall wreck or demolish any building or structure, or move the same, without first obtaining a permit therefor from the Building Services Supervisor, and such permits as may be required under Chapter 905, 913, and 915 of the Kent Codified Ordinances. The permit to move any building or structure shall, in addition, be approved by the Building Services Supervisor and may be refused if, in the judgment of the Building Services Supervisor and the Building Inspector, the building cannot be moved without causing substantial damage to property or it is structurally unsafe or unfit for the purpose for which it is to be moved. The movement of any building or structure upon a city street or highway shall also require a permit issued by the Chief of Police, which shall provide for a determination as to the time, route, and additional personnel expense for such a move. (Codified Ordinance Section 339.02
). The Safety Director shall be advised of the time for moving and the route.
This section does not apply to the initial delivery of industrialized units regulated by the Ohio Basic Building Code; initial delivery of manufacture homes regulated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; or initial delivery of buildings accessory to one, two, and three family dwellings.
