Analysis
Currently, pursuant to s. 115-25, whenever the commissioner of city development issues a permit for the demolition of all structures on a premises, and the demolition will result in the discontinuance of the use of an existing driveway, the removal of the driveway and restoration of the street pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk shall be a condition of issuance of such permit. Removal and restoration shall not be required whenever the owner has obtained a permit for new construction prior to demolition of the structure or structures and the existing driveway is necessary for proper access to the structure described in the new construction permit. Under this ordinance, if an owner fails or neglects to comply with these provisions, the commissioner of neighborhood services may issue an order to the owner or the owner's agent to correct the violation. If the order expires before it is complied with, the commissioner may cause the driveway to be removed and cause the restoration of the street pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk. The cost of this action shall be charged and be a lien upon the real estate and be assessed and collected as a special tax.
