Before a building can be demolished or removed,
the owner or agent shall notify all utilities having service connections
within the building, such as water, electric, gas, sewer and other
connections. A permit to demolish or to remove a building shall not
be issued until it is ascertained that service connections and appurtenant
equipment, such as meters and regulators, have been removed or sealed
and plugged in a safe manner. Excavations shall be filled with solid
fill to match lot grade within 30 days of removal of the structure.
Excavations shall be protected with appropriate fences, barriers and
lights.
