    window-frames, and sashes of such turrets, dormers,
    lantern-lights, or other erections, which may be made

  4. The roofs, flats, and gutters of every building,

    and to cellars or buildings hereafter to be built or
    rebuilt. If any such rooms or cellars cannot be
    otherwise lighted, the same may be lighted by means
    of apertures or areas extending under the footways,
    provided such areas or apertures be enclosed by
    solid masonry to the satisfaction of the Council or
    its Surveyor, and be provided with a horizontal iron
    grating, level with the surface of such footway:
    Provided also that the grating be not longer than

    or area only to such building be constructed as above
    for lighting apertures, not exceeding five feet in
    length nor wider than four feet beyond the building
