If the work allowed under an issued building permit has not been initiated within one hundred eighty (180) days from the issuance date of said permit, such permit shall become null and void, unless a request for an extension is submitted to, and approved by, the building official. If said permit becomes null and void, a new permit must be obtained and the regular fee incident thereto collected, in order for the work to be initiated or resumed.
