(Amended by Ord. No. 147,576, Eff. 9/15/75, Oper. 1/15/76.)

(a) A permit may expire as set forth in LAMC Section 98.0602. (First Sentence Amended by Ord. No. 179,325, Eff. 12/10/07, Oper. 1/1/08.)

EXCEPTION: The Superintendent of Building may extend the period of validity of a permit, providing that prior to the date of expiration the applicant submits satisfactory evidence that the work could not be started or continued within the allotted time, either because of its magnitude, its unusual construction difficulties, or for causes beyond the control of the applicant.

(b) Before the work authorized by any expired permit shall be started, recommenced or continued, a new permit shall be obtained as provided in this Code for the original permit and the fee or fees to be paid therefor shall be determined on the basis of the uncompleted portion of the work, and the work that has deteriorated or has been damaged to the point where replacement is necessary.
