A building

of one (1) year, after which no construction is authorized pursuant
thereto unless extended by the City prior to such expiration. The
Building Commissioner may grant an extension of up to an additional
six (6) months upon written application for such extension and payment
of a fee in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the initial permit
fee but not less than fifty dollars ($50.00). Such extension may be
denied if the site or construction is then in violation of the City
Code or if violations during the permit duration were not timely remedied
after reasonable notice by the City had been provided. No new building
permit or extension permit shall be granted for any activity requiring
a permit that was commenced or continued during any period in which
a valid unexpired permit did not exist unless:
1.
The applicant pays with the application a permit fee in the two (2)
times the amount otherwise required for the building permit; and
2.
The Building Commissioner has caused an inspection of the site and
determined that any other violations have been remedied and that compliance
with the Code may thereafter be verified under the circumstances of
the construction or site.

Any permit or extension may be denied or conditioned by the Building Commissioner where necessary to meet the requirements of this Code. Other fees shall be as set forth in Article XII of this Chapter or as otherwise required by ordinance.
