The other copy shall become part of the building permit records. If this survey indicates an error in setback requirements for said parcel or top of foundation elevation, all work on the building shall be halted until such time as said error is corrected. A tolerance of four inches plus or two inches minus shall be allowed on the foundation elevation.
