    §  3-509 Removal or covering up of landmarks. It shall be unlawful for
  any person to remove or cover up a monument or bolt for designating  any
  street,  without  giving  three  days'  notice  in writing of his or her
  intention so to do to the commissioner  of  transportation  and  to  the
  president of the borough in which the monument or bolt is situated. Upon
  receiving  such  a  notice, the borough president shall cause one of the
  city surveyors, or an engineer in the borough president's office to take
  the necessary measures to raise or lower such monument or  bolt  to  the
  proper  grade  of  the  street,  and,  when  necessary,  to  cause  such
  alteration to be noted on records to be kept in the borough  president's
  office  for  that  purpose. Whenever a borough president shall ascertain
  that any monument or bolt has been removed, without such notice,  he  or
  she  shall forthwith cause the same to be placed in its proper position,
  and shall note the same  on  the  records  in  the  manner  hereinbefore
  stated.  The  expenses  attending  such replacement shall be paid by the
  comptroller, on the certificate of the  borough  president  causing  the
  work to be done.
