Sec. 30-37. Barriers and lights to warn against danger.
When any work is being done on structures abutting on any
street or sidewalk which may endanger persons passing along
such street or sidewalk, barriers shall be placed across the
way so as to prevent and warn persons against the danger.
No bricks, slate or any other thing or substance shall be
thrown off, from or out of such structure or any part thereof
into the street or sidewalk, except within the space enclosed
by such barriers. When any ditch is dug or excavation is
made in or abutting a street or sidewalk, sufficient barriers
shall be placed around and over the same to prevent persons
or animals from falling therein. During the whole of every
night while such excavation or opening is uncovered or unenclosed,
sufficient lanterns or other noticeable lights shall be
conspicuously placed so as to cast their light upon such excavation
or opening. In addition to any penalty imposed for a
violation of this section, the person failing to comply with
the provisions of this section shall be responsible for all damages
resulting therefrom. (Code 1959, § 30-37.)
