During the six months after the issuance of a permit or at such
an earlier date as the Applicant may request, the Commissioner shall
cause an inspection of the Lot for which each such permit for a new
Sign or for modification of an existing Sign has been issued. If the
construction is complete and in full compliance with this chapter
and with the building and electrical codes, the Commissioner shall
issue a certificate of compliance. If construction is not substantially
complete or not in full compliance with this chapter and applicable
codes, the Commissioner shall give the owner or Applicant notice of
the deficiencies and shall allow an additional 30 days from the date
of inspection for the deficiencies to be corrected. If the deficiencies
are not corrected by such date, the permit shall lapse. If construction
is completed within said 30 days and the deficiencies corrected, the
Commissioner shall issue a certificate of compliance.
If any provision of this chapter, or the application thereof
to any person or circumstance, shall be held invalid by any court
of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the other
provisions, or application thereof, of this chapter which can be given
effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end
the provisions of this chapter are hereby declared to be severable.
