Where work for which a permit is required by this Building Code is started prior to obtaining such permit, the fees required by such permit shall be doubled, the minimum double fee charge shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00), but the payment of such double fee shall not relieve any person from fully complying with the requirements of this Building Code or any other State law or City ordinance. The Building Director shall be able to waive this fee from any owner of a structure or contractor, upon written request of the same on a one time basis. Such offense shall also separately be a deemed misdemeanor of the fourth degree, punishable as established by law. Each subsequent violation shall be a misdemeanor of the third, second and first degree, and punishable as allowed by law. Any offense, after a second offense, may additionally result in revocation of the license of the contractor involved.
