No person shall move, or cause to be moved, a building or other structure in, along, upon or across any public street within the Village without first obtaining a house moving permit from the Inspector of Buildings. No permit shall be issued to any person until the applicant has complied with the following requirements:
(a) The owner of a lot in the Village, or his agent, shall file an application for a house moving permit with the Inspector of Buildings and pay a filing fee therefor as provided in Section 1426.06. The application shall be on a form prescribed by or supplied by the Inspector. After accepting the filing of the application, the Inspector shall inspect the building or other structure desired to be moved to determine whether it complies with this Building Code, except for anything that may be disconnected, removed or secured preparatory to being moved. He shall also determine that the building or structure is in first-class condition. Upon determining that the building or structure complies with this Building Code and is in first-class condition, the Inspector shall, subject to the other requirements of this chapter, issue a tentative moving permit, dated that day and which shall be valid for thirty days after that day. If the building or structure is not moved within such period, the permit shall automatically expire and there shall be no return of any portion of the filing fee. If the building or structure is requested to be moved within such thirty-day period, upon the day it is to be moved it shall be inspected by the Inspector prior to being taken upon the public streets or highways to determine whether such building or structure is in substantially the same condition as when first inspected by him. If he determines that it is in substantially the same condition as upon his first inspection, the building or structure shall then be moved forthwith. If he determines that it is not in substantially the same condition and is not in condition to be moved in or into the Village, then he shall make a written statement to the applicant informing him of that fact and the specific reasons for his finding and determination, whereupon the tentative permit shall automatically terminate. The filing fee shall cover the cost of the processing of the application and the two inspections of the building or structure prior to its being moved. All other inspections and fees charged therefor shall be done pursuant to other applicable sections of this Building Code.
(b) The applicant must submit evidence of insurance, as approved by the Solicitor, indemnifying the applicant and the Village in the sum of not less than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for property damage and one hundred thousand/three hundred thousand dollars ($100,000/300,000) for death or personal injury.
(c) The applicant must submit a bond in the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), satisfactory to the Solicitor, indemnifying the Village for any loss or damage to streets or other public property.
(d) The applicant must post a cash bond with the Inspector in an amount determined by the Inspector to cover the actual cost to the Village for the removal of fire alarm wires, traffic lights and street lights, and the cost of tree trimming, police protection and other expenses incurred by the Village in connection with the moving of the structure.
(e) The applicant must submit a letter signed by an official of any adjoining city or village into which the structure is to move to the effect that such city or village will permit the movement of the structure onto the streets of such adjoining city or village.
