• If you do not apply for a crossover permit and do not comply with these laws and regulations, the City reserves the right to request modifications for which you as the property owner will bear he full cost.
• The City may impose penalties under the Consolidated Local Law 2020 and Local Government Act 1992 and take ction to correct the non-compliances and recover all associated costs.
