§ 150.089 DUTIES OF BUILDING OFFICIAL.

   (A)   Standards. The Building Official will refuse to issue a permit if it is determined:

      (1)   That any application requirement or any fee or deposit requirement has not been paid;

      (2)   That the building is too large to move without endangering persons or property in the city;

      (3)   That the building is in such a state of deterioration or disrepair or is otherwise so structurally unsafe that it could not be moved without endangering persons or property in the city;

      (4)   That the building is structurally unsafe or unfit for the purpose that it is being moved;

      (5)   That the applicant’s equipment is unsafe and that persons and property would be endangered by its use;

      (6)   That zoning regulations or other portions of this Code would be violated by the building in its new location;

      (7)   That for any reason persons or property in the city would be endangered by the moving of the building;

      (8)   That the building to be moved is not worth at least 50% of the cost of a similar new building;

      (9)   That the building in its new location would fail to comply in any respect with any provision of this Code or that proper assurance for future compliance has not been given;

      (10)   That the new location is not sufficiently prepared for the building to be permanently placed, including, but not limited to, the lack of footings or foundation; and

      (11)   That a permanent address has not been established for the new location.

   (B)   Permit fees. Upon the refusal of the Building Official to issue a permit, all deposits, bonds and insurance policies will be returned to the applicant. Application fees will not be returned.

   (C)   Designate streets for removal. The Building Official will obtain from the City Engineer a list of designated streets, railroad crossings and bridges on which the building may be moved. The list must be approved by the Police Chief and reproduced on the permit. In making their determinations, the Engineer and the Police Chief will assure maximum safety to persons and property in the city and minimize congestion and traffic hazards on public streets.
