Every permit issued by the city building inspector under the provisions of this chapter shall expire by limitation and become null and void if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of issuance of such permit or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days. Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first obtained, and the fee therefor shall be one-half (1/2) the amount required for a new permit for such work provided no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans and specifications for such work; and provided, further, that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year, in which case, the full fee for a new permit shall be required. (1974 Code § 3-305)
