Before proceeding with the wrecking or tearing down of any building or other structure more than one story in height or of any other structure of greater area than six hundred (600) square feet, a permit for such wrecking or tearing down shall be first obtained by the owner or his agent from the Building Commissioner and it shall be unlawful to proceed with the wrecking or tearing down of any such building or structure or any structural part of such building unless such permit shall first have been obtained. Application for such permit shall be made by the owner or his agent to the Building Commissioner who shall issue such permit upon such application and the payment of the fee provided for.
All such work shall be subject to the supervision of the Building Commissioner and to such reasonable restrictions as he may impose in regard to elements of safety and health.
Before any permit is issued granting authority to wreck a building or structure for which such permit is required, the person engaged in the work of wrecking same shall file with the Clerk a bond of five hundred dollars ($500.00), with sureties to be approved by the President and Board of Trustees, to indemnify, keep and save harmless the Village against liability of any kind whatsoever. Such bond in each case shall extend over the period of and cover all such wrecking operations. (Rev. Ord. 1939)
