Where noticed code violations exist, the building official shall issue a notice of denial of permit to the permit applicant or to the current owner (if not the applicant). The notice of denial of permit shall include a description of the noticed code violations. Failure of any person to receive a properly addressed notice of denial of permit pursuant to this section shall not invalidate the denial of a permit.
The building official may issue a permit or a permit with conditions to an owner, despite the existence of one or more noticed code violations, if it is determined that one of the following circumstances exists:
(a) The noticed code violations require the permit being applied for in order to abate the violations.
(b) Denial of a permit would result in an immediate threat to:
(i) The health or safety of occupants of the real property on which noticed code violations exist; or
(ii) The occupants of adjoining private property; or
(iii) Persons on public property.
