Before a building or structure can be wrecked, the owner, wrecking company or person who obtains the permit for such purpose shall notify all utilities having service connections within the building, such as water, electric, gas, sewer and other connections. A permit to wreck a building shall not be issued unless a release is obtained from the utilities, stating that their respective service connections and appurtenant equipment, such as meters and regulators, have been removed and/or sealed and plugged in a safe manner, nor shall a wrecking permit be issued until the Department of Engineering and Building is satisfied, after receiving a written report from the public utility companies concerned, that such wrecking operations may be accomplished in such a manner as not to create a hazardous condition as a result of the proximity of such public utility installations.
