Moving of Buildings

No building or structure or portion thereof, the moving of which is required by this article to be done by a licensed building mover, shall be moved in, along or through any public street, alley, thoroughfare, public park or other public ground, unless the licensee has first obtained a permit therefor from the building inspector.

The building inspector shall inspect or cause to be inspected all buildings proposed to be moved and may require such conditions for the execution of the proposed work as he may deem necessary for the preservation of the streets and other public property.
