Contractors providing private demolition services must provide the same information at the expiration of their permit.
(f) Contractors must protect the area around the site during the demolition process to prevent debris from falling on active sidewalks and streets (not blocked off). Sidewalks directly adjacent to the site, shall be properly closed and barricaded throughout the demolition project. Street traffic lanes may be closed as needed only in conjunction with the Village Police Department.
(g) Contractors shall reasonably grade lots. They shall present a neat, well drained appearance and shall prevent water from draining unnecessarily onto adjacent properties or collecting on the site.
(h) Contractors shall not leave mud or any mess on the streets and sidewalks while equipment is being loaded or unloaded.
