§ 15.36.090. Demolition of structures having party walls.

Before a permit is issued for the wrecking or demolition of a structure that has one or more party walls in common with one or more buildings, there shall be delivered to the director of inspections a certificate by a licensed architect or licensed structural engineer to the effect that the adjoining premises do not require anchorage, or if such certificate indicates that anchorage is necessary, the certificate shall be accompanied by a drawing signed and sealed by such architect or engineer and approved by the director of inspections indicating adequate anchorage of floor and roof joists at not greater than ten-foot intervals for each and every floor and roof resting on such party wall, and the adjoining premises shall be anchored in strict compliance with such drawings. The written consent of the owner of the adjoining premises permitting the anchorage shown on such drawing shall also accompany the certificate.
