913.10 PROTESTS PRIOR TO AND AFTER WORK.

   (a) If protests are filed prior to the doing of the work called for by the notice from the Engineering Commissioner, the Board of Appeals shall have authority to modify, alter or revoke any such notice, as to the amount of work or type of work required, or the time in which it must be completed, consistent with City ordinances and specifications regarding sidewalk construction, reconstruction and/or repair. The Board shall also have the authority to waive strict compliance with requirements where such compliance would cause undue hardship, provided the waiver will not cause or continue a public nuisance or an unsafe condition.

   (b)   If protests are filed after the work provided for in the notice to the property owner has been done, the Board's authority shall be limited to determining that the amount of the bill is correct and is charged against the right property, and that the work done was in accordance with the notice to the property owner. If the Board finds that an amount has been incorrectly charged against the property, but the work has been done for which the City contractor is entitled to payment, it may order payment made from the funds provided for the payment of the City's portion of sidewalk work.
