Section 19-144. Issuance of permit to open street within five years after completion of city capital construction project requiring resurfacing or reconstruction of such street  


Latest version.
  • All  persons  having  or  proposing  to  install  facilities  in,  on or over any street shall be responsible for
      reviewing the city's capital budget, capital plan and capital commitment
      plan. Such persons shall make provision to do any work, except emergency
      work, which requires the opening or use of any street prior to or during
      the  construction  of  any  capital  project  requiring  resurfacing  or
      reconstruction  proposed  in  such  budget  or  plan for such street. No
      permit to use or open any street, except for emergency  work,  shall  be
      issued  to  any person within a five year period after the completion of
      the construction of a capital project set forth in such budget  or  plan
      relating  to  such street requiring resurfacing or reconstruction unless
      such person demonstrates that the need  for  the  work  could  not  have
      reasonably  been  anticipated  prior  to  or  during  such construction.
      Notwithstanding   the   foregoing   provision,   the   commissioner   of
      transportation may issue a permit to open a street within such five year
      period  upon a finding of necessity therefor, subject to such conditions
      as  the  commissioner  may  establish  by  rule,  which  shall   include
      appropriate   guarantees  against  the  deterioration  of  the  restored
      pavement.
