It shall be unlawful to construct or erect any portion of a cable TV system prior to obtaining a permit from the City. An application shall be filed with the office of the Building Commissioner upon such forms as he shall deem necessary. Said application shall be accompanied by a complete set of plans showing the location of all work to be performed and certified to as required by §
21.65 of this chapter.
Any and all persons constructing or erecting any portion of
a cable TV system shall obtain a license and be bonded as all other
contractors in the City. Any person who installs wire or cable through
which an electric charge is carried shall be licensed as an electrical
contractor. All other contractors shall be licensed as general contractors.
No street shall be blocked or occupied by any person constructing
or erecting any portion of a cable TV system without obtaining a street
occupation permit. For the purposes of cable TV, the locations to
be blocked or occupied shall be given to the Building Commissioner
and the Director of Public Works at least two business days prior
to their blockade or occupation. Adequate warning devices, including
barricades, shall be supplied to direct traffic to other areas by
the contractor.
The provisions of this article shall apply to the construction
of any and all cable TV systems from and after the date of its passage,
regardless of whether or not a portion of that cable TV system may
have already been erected.
