A. Failure to promptly repair streets or rights of way which have been excavated for purposes related to building construction or damaged by construction related equipment or processes shall cause the director of building and safety, after notification by the city engineer, to withhold further building inspections and it shall be unlawful for the construction work to continue beyond the point where the next inspection is required by section 304 of the current edition of the uniform building code. The required building inspections can be resumed at such time as the city engineer notifies the director of building and safety that the repairs to the street have commenced or resumed. Failure to diligently then pursue the repair work to its acceptance by the city engineer (cessation of work for 2 days or more) shall cause the director of building and safety to withhold further building inspections until the repair work has been completed and accepted by the city engineer.
B. Seven (7) calendar days prior to notifying the director of building and safety to withhold further inspections, the city engineer shall give written notice to the building permit holder of record, delivered either in person or by registered or certified mail, advising the permit holder of record that further building inspections by the department of building and safety will be withheld on his project if the repair of streets or rights of way (which have been excavated for the purpose of building construction or damaged by construction related equipment) is not commenced within seven (7) calendar days after the date on the notice.
C. After notification by the city engineer to the permit holder of record that further building inspections will be withheld, and the street work is then commenced and the building inspections are then performed as required, but the work is then not pursued diligently (cessation of work for 2 or more days), the city engineer need not give the permit holder of record further notification that further building inspection by the department of building and safety will be withheld from his project until street repairs are completed as approved by the city engineer.
D. The time limitations specified by this section are subject to extensions upon written request and evidenced that the work could not proceed because of inclement weather.
E. In addition, any performance or completion bond or bonds posted for the completion of the street improvements do not affect the provisions of this section. (Prior code § 76025.1)
