A. Before commencing any work pertaining to the erection, construction, reconstruction, moving, conversion, or alteration of any building, or any addition to any building, a permit shall be secured from the city by any owner or his agent for the work; and it is unlawful to commence any work until and unless such permit shall have been obtained; provided, further, that no such building shall be occupied or used unless a certificate of occupancy, and a license for such use where required, is first obtained from the city or person vested with the duty or authority to issue same.
B. Each application for a building permit shall be made on a printed form to be obtained at the city hall and shall be accompanied by accurate information and dimensions as to the size and location of the lot; the size and location of the buildings on the lot; the dimensions of all yards and open spaces; and such other information as may be necessary for the enforcement of this title. Where complete and accurate information is not readily available from existing records, the city may require the applicant to furnish a survey of the lot prepared by a licensed surveyor. The original of such application shall be kept in the office of the city clerk.
