1315.11 PERMITS REQUIRED.

   (a)    Application for permits shall be made in writing on forms prescribed by the City and shall state the name of the plumbing contractor or plumbing contracting firm which is to make the plumbing installation; name and address of the owner or owners of the building or property on which the work is to be done; street and number of building or property on which the work is to be done; and the date the work is likely to be commenced. Any contractor who fails to obtain permits required by this chapter prior to the beginning of work, except in those cases where the emergency installation of plumbing is necessary, shall be required to obtain and pay for the permits which were originally required and in addition thereto shall pay a penalty double the amount of the original permit fees. No other plumbing contractor may use the same permit.

   (b)    Substitution. The Plumbing Inspector may issue a second permit for a plumbing installation (rough or finish) upon receipt from the property owner, his authorized representative or a project general contractor, of a written signed statement advising the City that the original permit holder has been removed from the plumbing installation job and further identifying the registered plumbing contractor who has been retained to complete the plumbing installation. Issuance of a second permit shall be subject to all of the requirements of this chapter, to include payment of permit fees, and shall be further subject to the requirements that the second permit holder shall be responsible for the completion of the plumbing installation, to include any work initiated by the first permit holder, in accordance with the requirements of this chapter.

   (c)    Expiration. A plumbing permit shall be valid for a period of twelve months from date of issuance.

   (d)    Revocation. Any plumbing permit found by the Plumbing Inspector to have been obtained by misrepresentation of facts or subterfuge shall be subject to revocation by the Plumbing Inspector.
