The Safety-Service Director shall examine applications for permits within a reasonable time after filing. If, after examination, he finds no objections to the same and it appears that the proposed work will be in compliance with the laws and ordinances applicable thereto and that the proposed demolition will be safe, he shall approve such application and issue a permit. If his examination reveals noncompliance with any of such laws or ordinances, he shall reject such application and note his findings in a written report to be attached to the application, all for return to the applicant.
(Ord. 86-015. Passed 7-14-86.)
In addition to compliance with all applicable provisions of these Codified Ordinances and the Ohio Revised Code, no permit authorized by this chapter shall be issued until the applicant complies with the following conditions:
