(Ord. 65. Passed 3-20-84.)
1020.03 PERMIT APPLICATION; REVOCATION; EFFECTIVE PERIOD; CONDITIONS.
   Permits required by this chapter shall be obtained upon application to the Department of Engineering and Building upon such forms as are prescribed by such Department, and there shall be a fee for each such permit issued as set forth in Chapter 210 of the Administration Code.

The permit shall be valid only for the period of time endorsed thereon. Application for a permit under this chapter shall be deemed an agreement by the applicant to promptly complete the work permitted, observe all pertinent laws, rules and regulations of the City in connection therewith, repair all damage done to the right of way, including trees and installations on, over or within such right of way, and protect and save harmless the City from all damages or actions at law that may arise or be brought on account of injury to persons or property resulting from the work done under the permit or in connection therewith.
