(a) If, after a building permit has been issued, actual construction work is not commenced within thirty days or if, during the course of construction, work has been suspended for a like period, the permit shall be immediately revocable, and notice to that effect shall be served on the contractor. This notice shall set forth that within five days the contractor shall furnish satisfactory proof that building operations are to be started or recommenced and carried out to completion. If the contractor fails to furnish such proof or, having furnished same, fails to begin or resume work, then the Chief Building Official shall revoke the permit.
(b) Written notice of such revocation, signed by the Chief Building Official, shall be immediately served on the owner, agent, superintendent or contractor in charge of the work, or shall be posted on the premises. No person shall perform any work in or about such structure, building or premises after the revocation of the permit and the posting of notice thereof.
