Sec. 32-40. - Public emergency.

In the case of a public emergency occurring during a time when a permit is not easily available, and the emergency requires the emergency repair work, the person shall not be required to obtain a permit from the DPW. Such person, however, shall notify the chief of police where the work will be located and the cause for the emergency repair work. Such person shall only begin work once they receive written authorization from the chief of police. Any person operating under a public emergency authorization shall still comply with the provisions of this article, and shall apply for a permit with the DPW within 30 days thereafter or be subject to the fines and penalties provisions of this chapter.
