Where work for which a permit is required by city ordinance or regulation is started or proceeded with prior to obtaining a permit, during the first 30 days of violation or 50% of construction, whichever comes first, a penalty of 50% of the cost of the usual permit fee will be added to the permit fee. After 30 days of violation or more than 50% construction the usual fee will be doubled, but the payment of such penalty shall not relieve any persons or corporation from fully complying with the other codes, ordinances or regulations of the city in the execution of the work, nor from any other penalties prescribed by the codes, ordinances or regulations.
