(a) Obtaining a Permit. The Property Owner shall obtain a permit from the City Building Inspector, or other authorized agent or officer of the City, prior to any demolition, renovation, construction, alteration, excavation or structural work of any kind being completed on any Structure located within the City. The Property Owner may authorize a Contractor or Handyman to obtain a permit from the City pursuant to this Section 1725.02(a) on behalf of the Property Owner, but such an authorization does not relieve the Property Owner from liability under this Section 1725.02(a).
(Ord. 692. Passed 5-6-13.)
(b) Displaying Permit. The Property Owner, or a Contractor or Handyman on behalf of the Property Owner, shall display the permit in an open and obvious unobstructed location visible from the street at the ground floor level until all demolition, renovation, construction, alteration, excavation or structural work is completed.
(Ord. 766. Passed 9-18-17.)
(c) Expiration of Permit.
(1) All building permits shall expire no later than six months after issuance thereof. However, a permit may be extended for one additional period of six months by the Building Inspector; provided that the work in accordance with the building permit is continuing. Such extension shall be requested in writing by the permittee, which request shall set forth in detail the justification for such action.
(2) For each period of extension of a permit in accordance with subsection (c)(1) hereof, the fee shall be twenty-five dollars ($25.00).
(3) For major construction projects the permit period shall be set based upon the contracted time for the project plus three (3) months.
(4) If further extension are necessary beyond those provided for in subsection (c)(1) hereof, the permittee shall apply for a special permit through the Planning and Zoning Commission, which application shall set forth in detail the justification for such permit. Appropriate public notice shall be given to those property owners surrounding the property in question.
