§ 18-51. Revocation of permit, certificate, or other approval.

The issuance of a permit, certificate, approval or other official action shall not be construed to authorize a violation of law and the building official and/or central permitting manager shall have the power to revoke or suspend a permit, certificate, approval or other official action which has been previously approved in error, or where there has been any false statement or misrepresentation of fact in the application or on the plans on which the permit or approval was based, or when the conditions of a permit have not been complied with. The building official may revoke a permit upon a determination that the construction, erection, alteration, repair, moving, demolition, installation, or replacement of the building, structure, electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing systems for which the permit was issued is in violation of or not in conformity with the provisions of this building code. Written notice shall be posted, mailed or given to the permit holder or his agent and it shall be unlawful for a person or persons to perform work in or about the building or structure except the work required for the correction of the expressed violations. If, in the judgment of the building official, there is imminent danger that requires immediate action, the permit may be revoked or suspended verbally and written notice served later. When a permit has been suspended, it shall not be reinstated until all existing violations have been corrected. Written notice of reinstatement shall be given to the permit holder if requested.
