The building official may revoke a permit that is neither void from the outset nor expired based on a finding that the permit applicant, permit holder, or a trade license holder performing work under the permit has failed to comply with any provision of the Chicago Construction Codes. The building official must adopt and follow procedural rules for the revocation of permits that are neither void from the outset nor expired, consistent with due process of law.
Any City official who believes that a permit has been issued in error must notify the building official, who will review the application for permit and relevant portions of the Municipal Code to determine whether the permit was issued in error. If the building official determines that a permit was issued in error, the permit is voidable and subject to revocation. The building official must notify the permit holder of the error, revoke the permit, and allow the permit holder to revise the related application and construction documents to conform to the applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
It is unlawful, after the revocation of a permit, to proceed with building or wrecking operations until the permit is reinstated or reissued by the building official. Any amount paid to the City in connection with the permit application or permit is nonrefundable. Except where this Code provides such payments are forfeited, the full amount paid to the City in connection with a revoked permit must be credited toward any amount due for reissuance of the permit within one year of revocation.
