12-106 : Permits and inspections.
- Permits.
- Requirement. A person, firm or corporation shall not erect, construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, improve, remove, convert or demolish any sign, building or structure, nor shall any person, firm or corporation install, enlarge, alter, repair, move, improve, remove, convert or replace any gas system, plumbing system, electrical system or mechanical system of a building or structure, or cause the same to be done, without first obtaining a permit for such project from the chief building official. No plumbing permit or inspection shall be required for the replacement of a plumbing fixture (as defined in the 2012 International Plumbing Code), as long as no drainage pipe, drainage vent, or water supply is being installed or rerouted. No electrical permit shall be required for the installation or replacement of equipment such as lamps and of electrical utilization equipment approved for connection to suitable permanently installed receptacles, replacement of flush or snap switches, fuses, lamp sockets, light fixtures and receptacles, and other minor maintenance and repair work, such as replacing work cords and tightening connections on a wiring device, provided no additional increase in circuit capacity is required. No electrical permit shall be required for the process of manufacturing, testing, servicing or repairing electrical equipment or apparatus. The foregoing exceptions do not relieve any person, firm or corporation from the obligation to meet all applicable code requirements regarding the work performed. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the chief building official in his/her discretion may require permits on any of the foregoing listed items, when he/she deems it necessary for the public's safety and welfare.
- Drawings and specifications to be submitted for review. Two (2) or more copies of specifications and of drawings drawn to scale with sufficient clarity and detail to indicate the nature and character of the work shall accompany the application for a permit. Such drawings and specifications shall be in a form approved by the chief building official such as traditional paper drawings or electronic graphic filed submitted on CD or other equivalent storage media.
- Permit fees and assessments. Permit fees and assessments under this title shall be fixed from time to time by the board of mayor and alderman and posted in the office of the chief building official.
- Expiration of permits. Permits issued under this section shall be valid for a period of two (2) years from the date of the issuance of the permit at which time said permit shall automatically expire if it has not already been revoked or suspended prior to its expiration pursuant to the provisions of this title. In the event of the expiration of a permit required by this section prior to the completion of the project for which the permit was issued, the expired permit holder shall be required to apply for a subsequent permit which shall be issued based upon the permit fee schedule then in effect prior to any further activity on the project for which the permit was originally issued; provided that the chief building official, in his or her sole and absolute discretion, may waive the fee required for issuance of the subsequent permit for good cause shown that the delay in completion of the project for which the original permit was issued is due to circumstances outside the control of the permit holder.
- Inspections.
- Requirements. It shall be the duty of the chief building official to inspect or cause to be inspected, and reject or approve, all work for which permits are required and to issue, or cause to be issued, orders for the modification, repair or improvement of any construction, installation, equipment or appliances not in conformity with the requirements of this title.
- Inspection fees. An inspection fee as fixed from time to time by the board of mayor and alderman and posted in the office of the chief building official shall be imposed on any contractor/owner for the fourth and each additional inspection of the same type and location.
