(A) Before any work on any wall, structure, building or any part thereof, or any platform, staging, foundation or flooring to be used for standing or seating purposes is commenced or any building, shed or structure of any kind heretofore erected can be repaired, altered, raised, moved or removed within the fire limits, the owner of the property shall make application in writing to the Building Inspector for a permit to erect a building or to make repairs or to commence the staging, foundation or flooring, or to alter, repair or add to any building or other structure, and no building heretofore constructed shall be repaired, structurally altered or built upon in any manner in violation of the above and foregoing provisions. It shall not be necessary to make application for minor repairs, but this provision shall not be construed in the manner as to include the cutting of any wall, or part thereof, the removal or cutting of any beam or support, or the change of any exposed structure of the premises, or any other material change or alteration or improvement without application for a permit to do so.
(B) (1) The application may be made for the owner by his or her agent, attorney or employee, or by the owner or by his or her architect or building contractor, and shall be filed with the Building Inspector and shall fully state the extent of the repair proposed to be made, the location of the building proposed to be erected, altered, repaired or added to, together with the full details as to the class of material proposed to be used in making the repairs or erection, addition or alteration.
(2) The provisions of this section shall not be held to limit the provisions of any other section of this chapter, but shall be construed to be cumulative of any other section of this chapter.
