A. Sidewalks and curb and gutter within the public way shall not be removed, blocked, ramped or otherwise rendered unusable by storage of construction equipment or materials, or by the construction procedures used under a permit, unless a safe, usable alternate walkway or water conveyance system along the same side of the street is provided in accordance with engineering regulations.
B. The permitting official may require that any damage to sidewalks, streets, curb and gutter, or other facilities within the public way, resulting from the removal, blocking, or ramping of such facilities, or from other construction activities under the permit, be cleaned, repaired, or rehabilitated by the permittee causing such damage. This section does not relieve any other person or organization from responsibilities arising under other permits, warranties or contracts to repair such structures. If it becomes necessary for the city to make such repairs, the cost of such cleaning, repairs, or rehabilitation shall be charged to the permittee, together with any legal fees or costs incurred in the collection of such costs. Payment of such costs shall be payable to the city prior to issuance of any certification of final inspection, utility clearances, or certificate of occupancy. The collection of fees and charges under this section shall be in addition to any other penalties that may apply and shall in no way alter, void or supersede other applicable penalty provisions.
