14A-4-413.8.5 Illegal or dangerous or unsafe condition.
When a permit is revoked pursuant to this section, the building official may also issue a stop work order pursuant to Section 14A-3-306, closure order pursuant to Section 14A-3-307, or notice pursuant to Section 14A-3-312 requiring the owner to remedy any dangerous or unsafe condition.
(Amend Coun. J. 1-24-24, p. 8634, Art. III, § 3)
14A-4-413.9 Suspension.
If the work authorized by a permit is not started within 180 days after issuance of the permit, the permit is suspended, and work may not proceed unless the permit is reinstated. For permits other than the stand-alone permits provided for in Section 14A-4-412.1, if none of the inspections required by Section 14A-5-502 are requested within 180 days after issuance of the permit, the permit is suspended, and work may not proceed unless the permit is reinstated. If the work authorized by a permit ceases for a consecutive period of 365 days after the start of construction or there is a period of 365 days without an inspection being requested, the permit is suspended, and work may not proceed unless the permit is reinstated. The building official must collect a fee as provided in Table 14A-12-1204.1 before reinstating a suspended permit.
(Amend Coun. J. 10-7-20, p. 21791, Art. I, § 17; Amend Coun. J. 6-25-21, p. 32180, Art. I, § 8; Amend Coun. J. 1-24-24, p. 8634, Art. III, § 3)

For each permit, the building official may grant up to two extensions of time or reinstatements, for periods of 180 days each, prior to the start of construction activities, and up to four extensions of time or reinstatements, for periods of 180 days each, after the start of construction activities, provided that the cumulative duration of extensions of time and reinstatements for the same permit or group of related permits may not exceed 720 days. The building official must collect a fee as provided in Table 14A-12-1204.1 before granting an extension of time or reinstatement.

If the work authorized by a permit ceases for a consecutive period of 730 days, the permit expires by operation of law and may not be reinstated.
