§ 15.02.030. Commencement of work before a permit is issued.¶
Any person who commences any work on a building, structure, or any portion thereof including any electrical, gas, mechanical, plumbing, or fire system or equipment installed on any property or used on or within any building or structure without first having obtained such permit, shall be subject to a fee established by the building official. Such fee shall be in addition to the required permit fee and plan review fee. This provision shall not apply to emergency work when it is proved to the satisfaction of the building official that the work was urgently necessary and that it was not practical to obtain the required permit before commencement of the emergency work. In all such emergency cases, a permit must be obtained as soon as it is practical to do so. If there is an unreasonable delay in obtaining such permit, the applicable permit fee shall be charged notwithstanding the earlier emergency.
