Section 109.4 is amended by adding the following paragraphs to the end of the section to read as follows:
“Whenever any work for which a permit is required by this code has been commenced without first obtaining said permit, a special investigation shall be made before a permit may be issued for such work.
An investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is then or subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall be determined by the currently adopted fee schedule and shall not be less than the actual costs as determined by the Building Official.”
