(§ 2, Ord. 1940, eff. January 18, 1996)

The issuance or granting of a permit or approval of plans and specifications shall not be deemed or construed to be a permit for, or an approval of, any violation of any of the provisions of this Code. No permit presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of this Code shall be valid, except insofar as the work or use which it authorized is lawful.

The issuance or granting of a permit or approval of plans shall not prevent the Administrative Authority from thereafter requiring the correction of errors in said plans and specifications or from preventing construction operations being carried on thereunder when in violation of this Code or of any other ordinance or from revoking any certificate of approval when issued in error.

Every permit issued by the Administrative Authority under the provisions of this Code shall expire by limitation and become null and void, if the work authorized by such permit is not commenced within 180 days from date of such permit, or if the work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after work is commenced for a period of 180 days. Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first obtained, and the fee therefore shall be one-half (½) the amount required for a new permit for such work, provided no changes have been made, or will be made in the original plan and specifications for such work; and provided further, that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one (1) year. Whenever any work for which a permit is required by this Code has been commenced without first obtaining said permit, an additional fee shall be collected at the time when the permit is issued. This fee shall be equal to the amount of the permit fees required by the most current City Resolution of Fees.

(§ 2, Ord. 1940, eff. date January 18, 1996)

Section 302—Fees shall be amended to read as follows:

302. When a building permit is required by Section 301 of this code, the appropriate fees shall be paid as specified by the most current City Resolution of Fees.
