SEC. 62.91. HOUSE MOVERS – DAMAGE TO STREETS.
 
   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.
 
 
SEC. 62.92. HOUSE MOVERS - DEPOSIT DEDUCTIONS.
   (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.
 
 
SEC. 62.93. HOUSEMOVING – LIGHTS REQUIRED.
 
   No person moving any building, or structure, or section, or portion thereof, over, upon, along, or across any public street shall fail, neglect, or refuse to keep a red light (or such other devices as the Board may require) at all times between sunset and sunrise, at each corner of such building, or structure, or section, or portion thereof, and at the end of any projection thereof, while the same or any part thereof is located in or upon any public street. (Amended by Ord. No. 121,900, Eff. 6/4/62.)
 
 
SEC. 62.94. PROTECTION OF SIDEWALKS.
 
   No person shall drive any wagon or any other vehicle over, along or across any cement or other improved sidewalk or curb, unless planking is laid thereon in such a manner as to protect such sidewalk or curb. No person shall remove any such planking, except the person by, or for whom it was laid, unless permission therefor is granted by the Board. Provided, however, that the provisions of this section shall not apply to the driving of vehicles over sidewalks and curbs, at places where cement or asphalt crossings are constructed across such sidewalks or curbs.
 
 
SEC. 62.94.1. PROTECTION OF STREETS – TRACTORS, ETC. PROHIBITED ON.
 
   No person shall operate upon, or permit to be on or operated upon the improved portion of any concrete, asphalt, rock and oil, or oiled street or public way in the City of Los Angeles any vehicle having thereon a tire or tires, on the periphery of which there is or are any block, stud, flange, cleat, ridge, bead or any other protuberance of metal or wood which projects beyond the tread of the traction surface of the tire. This section shall not prohibit the use of tire chains of reasonable size to prevent skidding when upon wet or slippery surfaces, nor shall the restrictions of this section apply to such a vehicle when its operation on any street or road is necessary in the construction or repair thereof.
 
 
SEC. 62.95. ANIMALS – DRIVING ON STREETS – PERMIT.
 
   No person shall drive any animal upon or along any paved street, alley, or public way if such conduct might reasonably be expected to damage such public property or interfere with public convenience without having first obtained a special permit from the Board to do so. The Board shall establish from time to time such regulations regarding said special permits as it finds are necessary. (Amended by Ord. No. 112,719, Eff. 2/28/59.)
 
 
SEC. 62.95.1. HORSEBACK RIDING PROHIBITED ON MEDIANS.
   (Added by Ord. No. 165,293, Eff. 12/14/89.)
 
   Horses are prohibited on the median of any street in the City of Los Angeles except in those medians where bridle paths exist.
 
 
SEC. 62.96. PAINTING HOUSE NUMBERS ON CURBS – PERMIT REQUIRED.
   (Added by Ord. No. 122,905, Eff. 10/26/62.)
 
   (a)   No person shall paint, stencil or affix, or cause to be painted, stenciled or affixed, any house or street address number on any curb in or adjacent to any public street without first having obtained a permit so to do from the Board.
 
   (b)   No such permit shall be issued until the applicant therefor shall have complied with the following requirements:
 
   1.   Application shall be made on forms provided therefor by the Board and shall be accompanied by the payment of a fee. Said fee 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. (Amended by Ord. No. 165,675, Eff. 5/11/90.)
 
   2.   The applicant shall file with the Board a policy of public liability insurance in which the City has been named as insured or co-insured with the permittee. The policy of insurance shall insure the City and its officers and employees against all claims arising out of or in connection with the issuance of the permit or the operation of the permittee or the permittee’s agents or contractors pursuant to the permit. The policy of insurance shall provide coverage as follows:
 
   Bodily Injury      $25,000    each person
$50,000   each accident
 
   Property Damage   $ 5,000   each accident
 
   3.   The applicant shall post and maintain with the Board a surety bond in the amount of $500. Such bond shall be executed to the satisfaction of the Board and shall be approved by the City Attorney as to form and legality. Such bond shall be payable to the City, shall be executed by a reliable surety company authorized to do business in California and satisfactory to the City, and shall guarantee compliance with the provisions of this section and all rules and regulations adopted by the Board pursuant thereto.
 
   EXCEPTION: The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to persons painting, stenciling or affixing house or street address numbers upon curbs abutting their own property.
 
   (c)   No person shall fail to keep a copy of such permit upon their person and available for inspection at all times while performing such work and no person shall represent in any way to the owner or occupant of the premises in question or to anyone that the painting of such numbers upon curbs or elsewhere is required by any law, rule or regulation.
 
   (d)   Any house or street address numbers which are painted, stenciled or affixed to any curb pursuant to the provisions of this section shall consist of black numerals not less than 2-1/2 inches, nor more than 4 inches in height on a white background. First quality paint shall be used in all cases.
 
   (e)   All permits issued under the provisions of this section shall expire on the 31st day of December following the date on which the permit was issued.
 
   (f)   The Board may adopt such reasonable rules and regulations in furtherance of the provisions of this section as the Board shall determine are necessary, including but not limited to rules regarding the work to be performed and the method and manner of the solicitation for such work.
 
   (g)   The Board may revoke or suspend any permit issued under the provisions of this section upon the permittee’s violation of or failure to comply with the provisions of this section or the rules and regulations of the Board adopted hereunder or any other applicable law of this City or State. Any such action shall be done in accordance with the provisions of Section 22.02 of this Code.
 
   (h)   Neither the City of Los Angeles nor any Board, Commission, officer or employee thereof shall be liable or responsible for any work done by any permittee under the provisions of this section, or by any employee, agent or independent contractor of the City who paints over, obliterates or removes any house or street address number upon any curb in the course of establishing any official traffic control or street identification sign, or in the process of repair or replacement of curbs.
