Wednesday morning.
:53:06
Thank you.
:53:11
- I need some information about...
- Just a minute, please.
:53:21
Yes?
:53:24
I want to know
how I go about getting permission
:53:27
to dig up a pile of a building
that's already under construction?
:53:31
I beg your pardon?
:53:33
A pile of a building
that's under construction.
:53:37
I wanna dig it up.
:53:39
- Regular-size pile?
- Yeah.
:53:42
- Ten thousand pounds?
- I would think so.
:53:46
Just a minute, please.
:53:50
Section 346B. Foundations.
:53:54
Do you know how much
a thing like that would cost?
:53:58
No. How much?
:54:03
See 581 D.
:54:08
Yes, here we are.
:54:11
Now, what's your connection,
by the way? Contractor?
:54:14
Owner?
:54:16
No. I'm from the police.
Lieutenant Columbo.
:54:20
Oh, yes. Well, you'll have to have
a departmental approval
:54:24
under regulation 613 of the municipal code.
:54:28
- I see. That's, uh... 613?
- Six-one-three.
:54:33
Now, once you get that,
you file your permits,
:54:36
your requisition slips, and if
the mayor's office approves of that,
:54:42
then you're set.
:54:44
Been to the structural
engineering department?
:54:47
What for?
:54:49
Lieutenant, you have to show
the exact foundation to be torn out
:54:53
so we can make our estimates.
:54:57
- Oh. Where do I do that?
- Room 316, down the hall.
