B. 
Said work is done by a nonprofit housing corporation or a private for-profit corporation assisted by the State of New Jersey or a federal agency and said work is performed in connection with the construction of owner-occupied low- or moderate-income housing, in which event, if authorized by the City Council resolution, the cost of said work may be assumed, in part or in whole, by the Department of Community Development, City of Paterson.
[Added 6-19-1984 by Ord. No. 84-058]
In the event that a roadway within the City does not have a section of the sewer collection system constructed therein and further that it is necessary to construct said missing section of the sewer collection system in order to allow a property owner to connect a sewer lateral into the existing sewer collection system, the cost of installing said missing section of the sewer collection system shall be the responsibility of the property owner. However, upon application of said property owner, the City Council may by resolution authorize said work or any part thereof to be the responsibility of the City of Paterson at the City's expense. The City Council shall consider in connection with the above application the location in question, the availability of that portion of the sewer collection system to be constructed to additional property owners and the recommendation of the Department of Public Works. This section shall not be deemed to allow the City to assume the cost of installing sewer laterals or house connections except as particularly specified in § 407-40.
