building abutting a footpath of a street, way, or other public place, the
builder or other person, or the plasterer, painter, or decorator shall, if
required by the building surveyor of the local government for that district to
do so, by notice in writing served upon him, cause the footpath to be so
covered, and kept so covered to the satisfaction of the building surveyor,
until the completion of the work then in progress, that there is no danger
from falling materials, or inconvenience to the public.
