A. 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.
B. 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 in accordance with the City of Grand Island Fee Schedule. The payment of such investigation fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other provisions of this Code, nor from penalty prescribed by law.
C. This provision shall not apply to emergency work when it shall be proven to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official that such work was urgently necessary and that it was not practical to obtain a permit before the commencement of the work. In such cases, a permit must be obtained as soon as it is practical to do so.
