This subchapter shall not be construed to create liability or hold the city responsible or liable for any damage to persons or property by reason of any inspection or reinspection. Neither the issuance of a permit nor the approval or disapproval of any installation authorized herein shall constitute any representation, guarantee or warranty by the city of any kind: nor shall the issuance of a permit or approval or inspection of any improvement create liability upon the city or any official, agent, representative or employee thereof. Additionally, the permittee shall be required to maintain improvements regardless of who installed, constructed, replaced, maintained or altered such improvements until such time as the improvement may be accepted by a governmental agency. By applying for a permit, the permittees acknowledge that they, and their subcontractors will hold the city harmless from any liability arising from failing to install, construct, replace, maintain or alter or from improperly installing, constructing, replacing, maintaining or altering the improvement until such time as the city may accept full maintenance responsibility for the improvement.
