50. The Board may, by a written notice, require the owners of existing buildings, the drains of which are in the opinion of the Board in a defective and insanitary condition, to construct within a reasonable time to be determined by the Board, new house-drains in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance, or to make such other improvements in the existing defective drainage of such buildings as in the opinion of the Board may be necessary to meet the requirements of this Ordinance.

52. If any building be without a sufficient drain, and if a public sewer of sufficient size be within one hundred feet of the premises or outermost boundaries of the lot on which such building is situated, and if such public sewer be on a lower level, it shall be lawful for the Board to require the owner of such building to connect with such public sewer by means of a proper drain adequately trapped and ventilated, to the satisfaction of the Board: Provided always that, if, after the passing of this Ordinance, any owner, by order of the Board, connects his building with a public sewer, he shall not be required to connect such building, at his own expense, with any other public sewer.
