In the event that the Director of Inspections determines, after inspection, that any public property located between the lot on which a building is being constructed and the adjacent streets or roadways has been deposited with mud or debris; has been damaged by the passage of vehicles or equipment to and from the lot; and that such damage could have been avoided by the construction and/or maintenance of an adequate temporary or permanent driveway in compliance with Section 1369.01; the Director of Inspections shall have authority to authorize the removal of mud and debris or the repair of such damage. The expense of repairs shall be paid for from the cash bond required by this section. If more than the cash bond is used for repairs, the builder shall, before proceeding with further construction and within three days after being notified by letter mailed by first class mail to the builder's address, as set forth in the building permit, replenish such bond by posting sufficient money with the Director of Finance to restore the cash bond required by this section.
