1311.09 PERMIT REVOCATION.

   (a)    Ninety-day Period. After the building permit has been issued, if actual construction work is not commenced with ninety days, or, if during the course of construction, work has been suspended for six months, the permit shall be immediately revocable by the Chief Building Official, and notice to that effect shall be served in writing on the owner to whom the permit was originally issued. All building permits issued prior to the enactment of this Building Code shall become invalid ninety days after date of enactment unless actual construction work is begun.

   (b)    Notice. The notice shall set forth that within five days the owner shall furnish satisfactory proof that building operations will be started or recommenced and carried out to completion. If the owner fails to furnish proof, or, having furnished the same fails to resume work, the Chief Building Official shall revoke the permit. Written notice of revocation, signed by the Chief Enforcement Officer, shall be immediately served on the owner, and shall be posted on the premises. No person shall perform any work in or about the structure, building or premises after revocation of the permit and the posting notice thereof, except for safety or sanitary requirements, without first renewing the building permit.

   If the work is resumed in accordance with the owner's agreement, then the original permit shall continue in effect, subject to the conditions set forth above.
