Working Without Permit: Any person who commences or causes the commencement of work for which a permit is required without first obtaining the required permit shall, upon application for such permit or permits, pay a doubled permit fee or fees, as established by fee schedule. This provision shall not apply to emergency repair work performed during off-business hours, where such emergency repair work is undertaken in order to reinstate operational status, so long as the applicable permit is obtained on the next business day.
