Editor's Note: Original § 44-9, Demolition of buildings, which immediately followed this section, as amended 1-11-1988 and 6-27-1994, was deleted at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II). See now Ch. 237, Buildings, Demolition of.
In the case of revocation of a permit or abandonment or discontinuance of a building project, the volume of the work actually completed shall be computed by the Building Official, and any excess fee for the incomplete work shall be returned to the permit holder, except that all penalties that may have been imposed on the permit holder under the requirements of the Basic Building Code shall first be collected.
If, in the opinion of the Building Official, because of a change in the scope of work covered under an existing permit, a revised cost declaration is necessary, he shall require that an additional charge be paid by the contractor-owner and applied to the original permit.

A fee of $25 shall be required for all reinspections necessary due to the fault of the contractor.
