No person, firm or corporation shall erect, construct, enlarge, move, convert any building or structure in the City, or cause the same to be done, without first obtaining a separate building permit for each such building or structure from the Building Inspector.
(Ord. 16-76. Passed 6-2-76.)
(a) To obtain a permit the applicant shall first file an application therefor in writing with the City Clerk on a form furnished for that purpose ten days before commencing construction.
(b) Every such application shall:
(1) Show the use or occupancy of all parts of the building.
(2) Be accompanied by plans and specifications as required in subsection (c) of this section.
(3) State the valuation of the proposed work.
(c) Each application for a permit shall be accompanied by two sets of plans and specifications except for small and unimportant work when authorized by the Building Inspector.
(1) Plans and specifications shall be drawn to scale upon substantial paper or cloth and shall be of sufficient clarity to indicate the nature and extent of the work proposed and show in detail that it will conform to the provisions of the Building Code and all relevant laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of the City.
(2) The first sheet of each set of plans shall give the house and exact address of the work and the name and address of the owner. Plans shall include a plot plan showing the location of the proposed building on the lot it is to occupy and of every existing building, if any, on the lot. In place of detailed specifications, the Building Inspector may approve references on the plans to a specific section or part of the Building Code or other ordinance or law.
(Ord. 714. Passed 7-21-55.)
(a) The application, plans and specifications filed by an applicant for a permit shall be checked by the Building Inspector. If the Inspector is satisfied that the work described in an application for the permit and the plans filed therewith conform to the requirements of the Building Code and other pertinent laws and ordinances, he shall issue a permit therefor to the applicant.
(b) When the Building Inspector issues the permit he shall endorse in writing or stamp on both sets of plans and specifications “APPROVED”. Such approved plans and specifications shall not be changed, modified or altered without authorization from the Building Inspector, and all work shall be done in accordance with the approved plans.
(c) One set of approved plans and specifications shall be retained by the Building Inspector, and one set of approved plans and specifications shall be returned to the applicant, which set shall be kept on such building or work at all times during which the work authorized thereby is in progress.
(d) The issuance or granting of a permit or approval of plans and specifications shall not be construed to be a permit for, or an approval of, any violation of any of the provisions of the Building Code. No permit presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of the Building Code shall be valid, except in so far as the work or use which it authorized is lawful.
(e) The issuance of a permit based upon plans and specifications shall not prevent the Building Inspector from thereafter requiring the correction of errors in such plans and specifications or from preventing building operations being carried on thereunder when in violation of the Building Code or any other City ordinance.
(Ord. 714. Passed 7-21-55.)
