§ 18-50. Expiration of permits.

A permit under which no work is done during a six-month period shall expire by limitation and a new permit shall be secured before work is started or resumed. For the purpose of this section, "work" shall be deemed to mean the placing or installation of some part of the permanent construction or installation authorized by the permit or the construction for which the permit is issued is continuing in good faith. For the purpose of this section in making determination as to whether construction is continuing in good faith, construction shall be deemed to be continuing in good faith if it has been undertaken and diligently pursued on a regular and continuous basis and an inspection has been successfully passed within a six-month period, and which where the work done furthers the progress of the construction as permitted. The criteria stated herein shall not preclude the building official from making a determination that construction is continuing in good faith based upon facts and circumstances of the particular construction.
