No permit shall be issued to any house mover pursuant to the terms of Sections 62.84 to 62.93 inclusive, unless such house mover shall have taken out the necessary license as provided for in Chapter II Article 1 of this Code.
No permit shall be issued to any house mover pursuant to the terms of Sections 62.84 to 62.93, inclusive, until the applicant therefor shall have deposited with the Board the sum of $77.00 for each day or portion thereof which is required to move such building plus an additional deposit of $11.00 for each such day or portion thereof for each additional section of such building to be moved at the same time over the same route, as stated in the application, provided for in Subsection (a) of Section 62.84. Any house mover may make and maintain with the Board a general deposit in the sum of $750.00, which general deposit shall be used for the same purpose as the special deposit mentioned in this section, and while such general deposit is maintained at the sum of $750.00, such house mover shall not be required to make the special deposit provided for in this section, but shall be required to comply with all other provisions set forth in Sections 62.84 to 62.93, inclusive. (Amended by Ord. No. 138,488, Eff. 6/12/69.)
Every building or structure or section or portion thereof moved over, upon, along, or across any street shall be moved under the inspection and supervision of the Board. The Board shall appoint an inspector for the moving of any building or structure and of each section or portion thereof; provided that in case two or more buildings or structures, or two or more sections or portions thereof are being moved at the same time along a route or routes so situated that one person can inspect the same, only one person shall be appointed therefor. Such inspection and supervision in each case shall be for such time as the Board shall deem necessary for the performance of such service. (Amended by Ord. No. 136,358, Eff. 5/6/68.)
(Amended by Ord. No. 108,646, Eff. 2/3/57.)
It shall be the duty of any house mover, when required by the Board, to cause boards of sufficient strength to carry the load, without breaking to be placed under all of the rollers or wheels to serve as a runway for such rollers or wheels during the removal of any building or structure, or section or portion thereof, along every street improved in any other manner than by asphalt or concrete. At no time shall such rollers or wheels be permitted to revolve except upon such board runway when the same is required by the Board.
All buildings shall be loaded on equipment having rubber-tired wheels.
In the event that the equipment of the house mover is not sufficient for the work required, or if a street or the use thereof, or the property of any public utility will be at any time endangered or damaged by such removal, or if such house mover, or the house mover’s servants or employees at any time violate any of the terms, conditions or restrictions of the permit required by Sec. 62.84, either as to the size of dimensions of the building or structure being removed, or the route of such removal or otherwise, the authorized inspector shall be empowered to stop the progress of such removal and shall report such fact to the Board.
The Board may adopt such rules and regulations as in its judgment may be needed to control the moving, the size, the weight, the equipment, the personnel, or any safety device necessary to safeguard the public interest safety, welfare and property in all matters pertaining to house moving.
A placard showing the number of the permit, the moving route and the mover’s name, address and telephone number shall be posted on the building, or on each portion of such a building being moved separately, during the time it is moved. (Added by Ord. No. 123,533, Eff. 2/15/63.)
In case of damage to any street by reason of the moving of any building or structure or section or portion thereof, the Board shall do such work as may be necessary to restore the street to as good a condition as the same was in prior to such damage and shall charge the cost thereof to the house mover to whom the permit was issued for the moving of such building, or structure, or section, or portion thereof.
(Amended by Ord. No. 165,675, Eff. 5/11/90.)
A permit fee shall be deducted from the deposits provided for in Section 62.88. In addition to a permit fee, a fee for inspection and supervision shall be charged for each 4 hours, or fraction thereof, during which the structure is being moved over upon, along or across any street, which sum shall also be deducted from the aforementioned deposit. If the move is not made and the permit is cancelled, the permit fee and inspection and supervision fee shall not be charged and the special deposit shall be refunded.
In addition to any other deduction provided for in this section, a charge per day for each day that such building, or structure, or section or portion thereof shall have occupied any portion of the street, when the same is not being actually moved thereon, shall be deducted from the aforementioned deposit. The remainder of such deposit, if any, shall be refunded to the person making such deposit, or to the person’s assigns. In case the deposit made pursuant to Section 62.88 shall be insufficient to pay the cost of the service inspector and the cost of the repairs, if any, the person making such deposit shall, upon demand, pay to the Board a sufficient sum to cover all such costs. Upon failure to pay such sum, it may be recovered by the City in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The fees and charges herein shall be determined and adopted in the same manner as provided in Section 12.37 I.1. of the Los Angeles Municipal Code for establishing fees.
