§ 214-23. Moving of buildings.  


Latest version.
  • No person shall remove or draw through, over or upon any street in the city any house, barn, shop or other building without first having secured a permit therefor from the Building Inspector. Before receiving such permit the applicant shall give a bond in a sum to be determined by the Building Inspector, conditioned to pay all costs and damages which the city shall sustain due to the above-mentioned movement or be compelled to pay for any accidents caused by such building on any street. Every application for a permit under this section shall state the name of the owner of the building to be removed, the name of the person who is to move the same, the precise localities from which and to which the building is to be moved, the distance from the proposed front line of such building in its new location to the line of the street, the street through which it is to be conveyed, the length of time to be occupied in removing the building and the dimensions of the building and nature of materials of which it is constructed. No person receiving permission to remove a building as provided for in this section shall be deemed to have the permission to remove the same through or upon any street not designated in his application or permit. Every twelve (12) hours that any such building shall remain in or upon any public highway of the city without such permit having been obtained or after the time allowed in which to remove such building has expired shall be deemed a separate violation of this section.
