Before the construction or alteration of any
plumbing or drainage system is commenced, the owner or lessee or the
agent of either shall obtain a written permit therefor.

required by this article, the applicant shall file an application
for such permit with the Building Inspector or Plumbing Inspector,
together with three copies of the specifications and working drawings
of the proposed system or alteration and such additional drawings
and information as the Building Inspector or Plumbing Inspector may
require. All application materials, including but not limited to forms,
specifications and working drawings, shall be submitted in electronic
file format acceptable to the Building Department, in addition to

the work for which the permit was sought, provided that application
for such amendment is made upon appropriate forms and shall have been
filed with the Building Inspector or Plumbing Inspector and provided,
further, that the application to amend shall be accompanied by the
required additional fee where the proposed amendment contemplates
the installation of additional plumbing fixtures. Such amendment,
after approval, shall be deemed part of the application and included
in the permit.
