When a building or structure is to be constructed or razed above the roof of an adjoining building, protection for the skylights and roof of such adjoining building shall be provided by the person constructing or razing, or causing the construction or razing of, such building or structure, at his or her own expense. However, if the owner, lessee or tenant of the adjoining building should refuse permission to have the roofs and skylights protected, the responsibility and expense for the necessary protection shall devolve on the person refusing this permission.
