Editor's Note: The original Section 1 of this Article, which dealt with the construction of sidewalks and curbs, has been superseded by subsequent legislation. See Article I, Curb and Sidewalk Construction, supra.
[Amended 4-3-1913]
All trees hereafter to be planted or set in any street within the limits of said city shall be set at the distance of 20 inches from the outside or face of the curb; no cellar door, porch or step shall extend more than 1/3 of the width of the sidewalk from the side line of the street; no bulk or bay window shall extend more than 15 inches from the said street line, and no hedge or terrace shall extend beyond the street line. No person or persons shall construct or cause to be constructed in front of his, her or their premises any projection that shall obstruct the view of the street line, except those mentioned in the preceding part of this section, or shall be considered by the Common Council detrimental to the adjacent property. Any person or persons offending against the provisions of this section shall, on complaint of the Common Council, be notified by the Mayor to remove said obstruction or obstructions, and if not removed within 30 days from the date of said notification, the owner or agent shall be subject to the penalties provided in § 73-17.
[Amended 4-3-1913]
No person or persons shall obstruct any street or streets or alley with any encumbrance whatever without a permit from the Street Supervisor,[1] under the penalties provided in § 73-17.

Editor's Note: It would appear that the issuing authority for such a permit would now be the Superintendent of Streets, Parks and Playgrounds and Public Property.
[Added 7-2-1874]
Any person or persons who shall deface, injure or destroy any tree or trees which has or shall be set at a suitable distance from the curb, agreeable to § 73-12, shall be subject to the penalties provided in § 73-17.
