A permit for the construction, reconstruction, or alteration of any building or structure may be revoked by the Building Inspector at any time prior to the completion of the building or structure for which the same was issued, when it shall satisfactorily appear that in the construction work there is a departure from the plans, specifications, or conditions as required under the terms of the permit; that the permit was procured by false representations or was issued by mistake; or that any provisions of this chapter, or any other provisions of this code, are being violated. Notice of the revocation of the permit shall be given to the person conducting such building operations, either by handing the same to the person in charge of the operations or mailing it to the person by United States mail at the address given in the application for the permit. Upon the revocation of such permit, all building operations shall immediately cease and shall not be renewed until the defects and departures from the plans and specifications or conditions required under the terms of the permit, have been corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the Building Inspector. Upon the failure, refusal, or neglect of any owner, his or her agent, contractor, or duly authorized representative to correct such defects in construction, and departures from the plans, specifications, and conditions under which the permit was originally issued, or upon the failure, refusal, or neglect of such persons to abide by the cease and desist order issued by the Building Inspector, they shall be considered violators of the provisions of this chapter and subject to the penalties provided for herein.
