For building moves, chapter 107 requires the proposed city route and the original and final sites. Its review addresses utility and tree impacts as well as the street move.

The commissioner may approve an eligible wheeled building move under a different process from a Common Council petition. The code does not justify saying every building move always needs council approval.

  • Buffalo Code — Chapter 479, Article I Traffic Regulations — The codified chapter says amended traffic regulations are held on file in the offices of the City Clerk and City Engineer; it does not expose a complete current truck-route table.
  • Buffalo Code — Chapter 107, Buildings Moving — A building move across public streets needs city permission. The application describes the before/after sites, building and proposed route; utilities, trees, bond or insurance and commissioner review are addressed.
