Section 17-18: Application for permit
(e) Expiration. Every permit issued by the administrative authority under the provisions of this code shall expire by limitation and become null and void, if the work authorized by such permit is not commenced within one hundred twenty days from the date of issuance, or if the work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of one hundred twenty days; provided, however, that a permit issued for work on construction having a valid building permit, shall expire only when such building permit expires.
Where a permit expires, before work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be obtained, and the fee shall be one-half the amount required for a new permit, provided no changes have been made or will be made to the original plans and specifications of such work; and provided, further, that the suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year.
Section 25-4-1: Existing buildings
Any building upon which construction was lawfully begun prior to December 7, 1996, or any subsequent amendments to this chapter may be completed and thereafter shall be considered an existing building at the time of the effective date of this chapter (December 7, 1996) or amendment.
