BUILDINGS 

 

ARTICLE I – BUILDING OPERATIONS 

 

 

 6-1-1 USE OF STREETS. The use of streets for the storage of materials 
in the process of construction or alteration of a building may be granted where the same 
will not unduly interfere with traffic and will not reduce the usable width of the roadway 
to less than eighteen (18) feet; provided that no portion of the street other than directly 
abutting on the premises on which work is being done shall be used except with the 
consent of the owner or occupant of the premises abutting on such portion. Any person 
seeking to make such use of the street shall file with the City Clerk a bond with 
corporate sureties to be approved by the City Council, to indemnify the City for any loss 
or damage which may be incurred by it by reason of such use and occupation. 

 

 

 6-1-2 NIGHT OPERATIONS. No construction or alteration operations 
shall be carried on at nighttime if the same are accompanied by loud noises. 

 

 

 6-1-3 SIDEWALKS. No sidewalk shall be obstructed in the course of 
building, construction or alteration without a special permit from the Mayor or his 
authorized representative being first obtained. 

 

 

 6-1-4 SAFEGUARDS. It shall be the duty of the person doing any 
construction, altering or wrecking work in the City to do the same with proper care for 
the safety of persons and property. Warnings, barricades and lights shall be maintained 
wherever necessary for the protection of pedestrians or traffic; and temporary roofs over 
sidewalks shall be constructed wherever there is a danger to pedestrians from falling 
articles or materials. (See Chapter 33 – Streets for additional requirements.)
