§ 6-184. Filling abutting land, spilling of soil.

The abutting land owner as well as any person using the abutting land shall in any case where, by filling, the level of the abutting land has been raised above the level of the adjoining public street or other public place, keep soil used in so raising the level of the abutting land off the adjoining public street or other public place. The soil may be kept off the adjoining public street or other public place by a retaining wall built and maintained on the abutting land or by sloping the abutting land so as to accomplish the same purpose.
