If, after a building permit or other required permit shall have been granted, the operations called for by such permit shall not be begun within six months after the date thereof, such permit shall be void and no operations thereunder shall be begun or completed until an extended permit shall be taken out by the owner or his agent, and a fee of 25 percent of the original cost of permit shall be charged for such extended permit; provided, however, that in no case shall a permit be issued or renewed for a fee less than $50.00. An extended permit shall be valid for six months following the date of expiration of the original permit and must be applied for within ten days after the expiration of the original permit. Two extensions only shall be granted and if work is not begun within 18 months after the date of issuance of the original permit, all rights under the permit shall thereupon terminate by limitation. Where, under authority of a permit, or extended permit, work has begun and has been abandoned for a continuous or cumulative period of 12 months, all rights under such permit shall thereupon terminate by limitation.
