No person shall dig up any part of any street

permit therefor from the Director of Public Works.
Every person digging up or making any excavation

of Public Works.
It shall be the duty of any person making excavations
in streets or sidewalks to provide barricades to prevent injury to
pedestrians or vehicle operators and to provide suitable lights to
make the excavation visible at night.
In case any street or sidewalk is not left in a manner satisfactory to the Director of Public Works, under the provisions of § 351-17, he or she shall cause the work to be properly done, and the expense thereof shall be charged to and paid by the person digging up such street or sidewalk or making any excavation therein.
