Whenever any work for which a permit is required under the provisions of this Code has been commenced without the authorization of such permit, a special investigation shall be made before a permit may be issued for such work. In addition to the permit fee, an investigation fee shall be collected under LAMC Section 98.0402. (Amended by Ord. No. 185,587, Eff. 7/16/18.)
No permit shall be issued when an investigation fee is due until such fee has been paid.
The payment of the investigation fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with the provisions of this Code nor from any penalty prescribed by law.
