It shall be unlawful for any person to construct, reconstruct, or repair any sidewalk, driveway, parking lot, curb, gutter, or drainage facility in the city without first obtaining a permit. Such work shall be constructed in accordance with city specifications. There shall be no charge for the permit. The owner of the abutting property on which such concrete driveway, sidewalk, or curb and gutter has been constructed shall have the option of withholding the payment for such work until the contractor shall present a certificate from the city administrator approving said construction as having been satisfactorily completed in accordance with city specifications. Any concrete driveway, sidewalk, or curb and gutter not approved by the city administrator because of any defective or faulty material or workmanship shall be removed by the contractor free of cost or expense to the owner or the city, and the work area restored to a condition approximating the natural condition existing prior to the beginning of the work.
