(a) When, in the judgment of the Building Commissioner, the work for which any building permit was issued is not being performed in conformity with the application, drawings or specifications upon which the permit was issued, or if the stamped drawings are not kept at the building or work, it shall be the duty of the Commissioner to notify the owner or his agent in writing that the work is being constructed in violation of this Building Code and that the work must be suspended until a permit for the deviation from the application, drawings or specifications is obtained or that such work shall be made to conform to the application, drawings and specifications upon which a permit therefor was issued. If the owner or his agent fails to comply with the notice on the service thereof, it shall be the further duty of the Commissioner to revoke the permit. Written notice of the revocation signed by the Commissioner shall be immediately mailed to the owner or his agent at the address given in the application for the permit and a copy of the revocation shall be posted on the premises. No person shall perform any work in or about the structure or building or use, let, rent or occupy the structure or building after the revocation of the permit and the posting of the notice thereof, except to perform such work as may be required for the correction of existing violations.
(b) In cases which, in the judgment of the Commissioner, require immediate action, the permit may be revoked without serving of the notice referred to above.
(c) When a permit has been revoked on account of poor material or bad workmanship in masonry construction, the Commissioner may require the owner to employ a superintendent, acceptable to the Commissioner, who shall be kept on the work until the masonry work has been finished and who shall be paid by the owner.
(d) When a permit has been revoked, it shall not be reinstated until all existing violations have been corrected and a superintendent provided, if required. Written notice of the reinstatement of a permit shall be given to the owner before the work may proceed.
(e) No person shall remove, deface or conceal the notice of revocation, after the same has been posted, except at the order of the Commissioner.
(Ord. 1177. Passed 3-3-30.)
(f) The remedies provided in this section shall be in addition to the penalties provided in Section 1501.99.
