    §  3-508  Excavations  or  embankments  near  landmarks.  It  shall be
  unlawful for any person to make any excavation or embankment, or to  lay
  or  move  any pavement or flagging, within three feet of any monument or
  bolt, which has been set by  proper  authority,  or  designated  on  any
  official  map  as  a  landmark  to  denote street lines within the city,
  unless a permit therefor has been obtained from  the  president  of  the
  borough  in  which  such  monument or bolt is situated. Applications for
  such permits shall be in writing, and shall set forth the nature of  the
  work  proposed,  and  the  location  of all monuments or other landmarks
  affected thereby. The borough president shall thereupon cause one of the
  city surveyors or an engineer in the borough president's office to  take
  such  measurements  and  field notes as may be necessary to restore such
  monuments or bolts to their correct position after the completion of the
  contemplated work, and, when such measurements and field notes have been
  taken, the required permit shall be issued.
