3303.11 Emergency Situations:
If the building or structure is so damaged or deteriorated that
there is imminent danger to public safety the demolition may proceed
immediately without first obtaining a permit if all utilities have
been disconnected and verified by the property owner. However, a permit
must be obtained within three (3) days of said demolition. Emergency
demolition does not relieve the property owner from adhering to the
requirements of this Section.

Adjoining public and private property shall be protected from
damage during construction, remodeling, and demolition work. Protection

and erosion during construction or demolition activities. The person
making or causing an excavation to be made shall provide written notice
to the owners of the adjoining buildings and properties advising them
that the excavation is to be made and that the adjoining buildings
should be protected. Said notice shall be delivered not less than
ten (10) days prior to the scheduled starting date of the excavation.
The notice shall include a request for a license or easement, if necessary,
to enter any affected lot, building or structure prior to the commencement
of work and at reasonable intervals during the work to inspect and
preserve the lot, building or structure from damage. If the owner
of said lot or property refuses to issue a license then the applicant
shall give notification, in writing, to the owner and the Building
Official that the responsibility is that of the property owner.
3307.2 Street Cleaning:
Mud and debris on streets caused either directly or indirectly
by construction or demolition shall be removed. This maintenance must
be performed at all times during construction and demolition. The
responsibility for ensuring that the streets leading to and from the
construction site are kept clean will be with the owner of said property
and the contractor thereof. Failure to comply with this Section will
result in a violation subject to the penalties specified in Section
114 or being served with a stop work order per Section 115, or both.
3307.3 Approved siltation control shall be established to prevent
silt from entering neighboring property.

The first value is cavity insulation, the second value is continuous
insulation, so "13+5" means R-13 cavity insulation plus R-5 continuous
insulation.

The second R-value applies when more than half the insulation
is on the interior of the mass wall.

Exception: Unfinished basements may have up to a maximum of
twenty percent (20%) of the total basement wall area exposed above
the outside finished grade/ground level as uninsulated concrete foundation
wall. The foundation wall area above the outside finished grade/ground
level that may be uninsulated is determined by the formula (0.2 times
the basement wall height of all walls (including insulated exterior
frame walls for walkout basement and walls common to both basement
and attached garages) time the perimeter of these basement walls).
In unfinished areas, the basement foundation wall insulation shall
extend down to the basement floor slab or to a minimum of twenty-four
(24) inches below outside finished grade when the grade is above the
