(a) The City Inspector is hereby authorized to issue building moving permits upon written application therefor by duly registered building movers when the building to be moved is consistent with the provisions of this chapter. Prior to the issuance of such permit, all utilities shall be properly abandoned. Water supply pipes and building sewers must be disconnected and sealed. The permittee shall obtain written notification from the Division of Water and Sewers that proper abandonment has been accomplished, and deliver a copy of this notification to the City Inspector, along with the permit application. The application shall contain a description of the building proposed to be moved, its dimensions and construction, its weight when loaded, the number of axles, its present location and the location of the property where the same is to be moved.
(b) A fee for each building moving permit shall be paid to the Clerk-Treasurer as follows:
(1) Twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for buildings fourteen feet or less in width;
(2) Fifty dollars ($50.00) for buildings more than fourteen feet in width; and
(3) In addition to the foregoing permit fees, the sum of five dollars ($5.00) per day for each day a building remains on any public thoroughfare or within a public right of way.
(c) The City Inspector shall in each permit limit the time for removal of the building and the time to be occupied in moving the same. He shall also specify for each permit the route to be followed in moving such building, and no person shall proceed under a permit without approval of such time frame and route, or digress therefrom without the written approval of the City Inspector.
(d) No building moving permit shall be issued until countersigned and approved by the Police Chief, the Street Superintendent, the Electrical Distribution Superintendent and the Water and Sewer Superintendent. The mover shall also present written approval to the City Inspector from the telephone and cable television companies. If the right of way of any railroad company is to be crossed, such company must also approve such permit. The registered building mover shall notify the City Inspector of the hour when moving will actually begin.
