(A) Expiration and extension. A permit for work shall be deemed to be abandoned six (6) months from the date the permit was issued and the permit shall become void unless satisfactory progress is made. Satisfactory progress shall be evidenced by a requested inspection. One (1) or more ninety (90) day extensions of a permit may be allowed provided the extension is requested in writing. If granted, such extensions shall be in writing by the Building Official. An inspection must be requested within the ninety (90) day extension period or the permit shall expire.
(B) Required inspections. If the work described in any permit, issued by the Building Official has begun, all required inspections shall be requested. If the work described in a permit has commenced, but the stage of the work does not require an inspection, an inspection shall nonetheless be required and requested by the party to whom the permit was issued, to determine satisfactory progress or an additional permit extension shall be required at least six (6) months.
