   (A)   The owner obtains a demolition permit from the County Building Department.
   (B)   All sewer, gas, water and similar taps or connections are properly closed and disconnected.

   (D)   The lot is graded to a smooth, even, finished grade, and free from building material, debris, holes and/or depressions. Where building debris remains on the site below street level, the owner must backfill the lot with 12 inches of clean fill which shall be graded to a smooth, even finished grade.
   (E)   Where walls of adjacent buildings become exposed as a result of the demolition, the walls must have all doors, windows, vents or other similar openings closed with material of the type comprising the wall. No protrusions or loose material shall be in the wall. The exposed wall shall be painted, stucco or bricked so as not to detract from the aesthetics and value of the adjacent property and weather proofed to prevent deterioration of the wall.
