A. 
Plumbing permit required. No person, firm or corporation shall commence any plumbing, drainage or sewer contracting work in any building, structure or parking lot or on any premises, or cause the same to be done, without first obtaining a separate plumbing permit from the Code Enforcement Officer for each such occurrence.
B. 
Commencement and completion of work time limits. Unless actual construction work is begun within six months of the date of any plumbing permit, then such permit shall expire by limitation, except that the Code Enforcement Officer may postpone such expiration if circumstances beyond the control of the applicant delayed the commencement of work. Unless work, commenced pursuant to a valid permit, is completed within one year of the commencement of such work, either the permit shall expire and all work completed shall be removed and the premises returned to its original condition, or the permit shall expire and a new permit shall be obtained upon submittal of a new permit application and fees subject to the codes in effect at the time of submittal of the new application. If a new permit is issued for the purpose of completing work under a prior permit, all work associated with the new permit must be completed within six months of the date of issuance of the new permit. Failure to comply with either of these alternatives shall be deemed to be a violation of this chapter and subject to the penalties contained in § 76-19 of this chapter.
C. 
Applications for a plumbing permit. Applications for a plumbing permit shall be made to the Code Enforcement Officer by a licensed plumber or his/her authorized representative or a homeowner, and he/she shall pay the fees as set forth by the Village of Depew by Village Board of Trustees resolution.
D. 
Register of licensed plumbers. The Code Enforcement Officer shall establish a registry of persons licensed as plumbers or authorized agents of a licensed plumber. A maximum of one authorized agent who is not licensed may be registered with the Code Enforcement Officer's registry. The registry shall contain the names of all licensed plumbers, individual persons authorized to apply for plumbing permits and shall include each person's home or business address, business telephone number, photograph, proof of current workers' compensation and New York State disability coverage and a notarized signature.
E. 
Revocation or suspension of plumbing permits. If the Code Enforcement Officer determines that a plumbing permit was issued in error because of incorrect, inaccurate or incomplete information, or that the work for which a building permit was issued violates the Uniform Code or the Energy Code, the Code Enforcement Officer shall revoke the plumbing permit or suspend the building permit until such time as the permit holder demonstrates that:
(1) 
All work then completed is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Uniform Code and the Energy Code; and
(2) 
All work then proposed to be performed shall be in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Uniform Code and the Energy Code.
F. 
The plumbing permit fees must be paid at the time of submission of an application for a plumbing permit, for an amended plumbing permit, or for renewal of a plumbing permit. Such fees shall be as set forth by the Village of Depew by Village Board of Trustees resolution.
