  • No person removing a building shall permit the same to stand in the same place in any street longer than twenty-four (24) hours. No person removing a building, whether under license or otherwise, or any person in any way engaged in such removal, shall remove, destroy, cut, deface or in any way injure any sidewalk, catch basin, curbstone, pavement, crosswalk, tree, fence, post or other thing in or upon any street whether belonging to the city or to any property owner, or anything adjacent to any street across or through which said building is being or proposed to be removed. No such building shall be removed along any portion of a street or avenue unless permission to do so is expressly given in writing by the mayor or authorized by the city council, under such conditions and restrictions as the mayor or city council may impose. No settlement between any person so removing any such building and the owner of any tree or other property which may be destroyed, cut, defaced or in any way injured during said removal, or by reason thereof, shall be a bar to prosecution under this chapter.
