(b) Any such frontager who wishes to object to the carrying out of such work by the Building Authority shall give notice of his objection, specifying the grounds thereof, within a period of 14 days from the giving of the notice required by paragraph (a).
(c) The Building Authority shall not commence or authorize the commencement of such work until the expiration of the said period of 14 days or, where he has received any objection within such period, until he has considered and made reply thereto, whichever is the later.
(4) If any order made under subsection (2)(a) is not complied with, the Building Authority may carry out or cause to be carried out the work required thereby to be carried out.
(5) Where in the opinion of the Building Authority a private street or access road has been rendered dangerous or liable to become dangerous and emergency has thereby arisen, he may carry out or cause to be carried out such work as may appear to him to be necessary, either without notice to the frontagers or before or after such notice. The decision of the Building Authority that the particular case is one of emergency shall be final and binding on all persons. (Added, 40 of 1965, s. 6)
(6) The Building Authority may recover the cost of any work carried out pursuant to the provisions of subsection (2)(b) or of subsection (4), or the cost of any work carried out pursuant to the provisions of subsection (5) so far as it is in his opinion attributable to the emergency, from the frontagers; and the Building Authority shall apportion such cost--- (Amended, 40 of 1965, s. 6)
(a) in the case of private streets, according to the frontages of the premises owned by such frontagers; or
(b) in the case of an access road, in proportion to the areas of the lots to which the road provides access. (Replaced, 37 of 1961, s. 4)
(7) (a) Upon the application of the frontager on a private street or, where there are more than one of the greater part in value of such frontagers, the Building Authority may, where he considers that the use of the street by the public is such as to justify its maintenance at the expense of the Government, undertake the further maintenance of the street.
(b) The Building Authority shall not undertake the further maintenance of any private street until-
(i) the owner or owners of the land on which the street is constructed have surrendered such land to the Government free from all competing rights, titles, interests, trusts, claims, liens, demands and restrictions of all kinds whatsoever; and
(ii) any order which he may have made under subsection (2)(a) has been complied with.
