If construction of an improvement authorized by a permit has begun as herein provided, then the exterior of the building, including removal of construction debris, shall be completed within the period of the permit. Failure so to do shall be a violation of §§ 152.14 and 152.15 by the holder of the permit. Failure to so remove said debris shall constitute a continuing violation, each day's continuance being a separate offense, until the debris is removed. Violation of this section may be avoided by the holder of the permit, at least 10 days before its expiration, applying to the city clerk for a renewal permit for completion of the improvment, and showing good cause for failure to complete the exterior walls and removing the debris within the period of the original permit. Upon good cause being shown the city clerk may issue a renewal permit, for not longer than 6 months, at a fee of 1/2 the original fee, for completion of the improvement.
