Administration of the sections of the Rebuilding Acts that defined materials and the types of new buildings permitted after the Great Fire of 1666 was primarily the responsibility of the City. Only after new and widened streets had been staked out and foundation certificates issued could owners start to rebuild. Disputes then arose from time to time between neighbours. Complaints were made that some rebuilding was contrary to the Acts. These disputes and complaints were brought to the City for settlement. When similar disputes had arisen before the Fire, the City's Viewers were ordered to visit the sites, inspect the buildings in dispute and report in writing to the City, giving their findings and recommendations for settlement
