688 <br /> <br />ORDINANCE NO. NS- 2078 <br />PAGE TWO <br /> <br /> The issuance or granting of a permit or approval of <br />plans shall not prevent the administrative authority from <br />thereafter requiring the correction of errors in said <br />plans and specifications or from preventing construction <br />operations being carried on thereunder when in violation <br />of this code or of any other ordinance or from revoking <br />any certificate of approval when issued in error. <br /> <br /> Every permit issued by the building official under <br />the provisions of this code shall expire by limitation and <br />become null and void if the building or work authorized by <br />such permit is not commenced within 180 days from the date <br />of such permit, or if the building or work authorized by <br />such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after <br />the work is commenced for a period of 180 days. Before <br />such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first <br />obtained to do so, and the fee therefor shall be one half <br />the amount required for a new permit for such work, provided <br />no changes have been made or will be made in the original <br />plans and specifications for such work; and provided <br />further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded <br />one year. In order to renew action on a permit after <br />expiration, the permittee shall pay a new full permit fee. <br /> <br /> Any permittee holding an unexpired permit may apply <br />for an extension of the time within which he may commence <br />work under that permit when he is unable to commence work <br />within the time required by this section for good and <br />satisfactory reasons. The building official may extend <br />the time for action by the permittee for a period not <br />exceeding 180 days upon written request by the permittee <br />showing that circumstances beyond the control of the <br />permittee have prevented action from being taken. No <br />permit shall be extended more than once. <br /> <br />SECTION 3: That section 8-309 of the Santa Ana Municipal <br />Code is amended to read as follows: <br /> <br />Sec. 8-308. Permit required. <br /> <br /> (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to install, <br />remove, alter, repair or replace or cause to be installed, <br />removed, altered, repaired or replaced any plumbing, gas <br />or drainage piping work or any fixture or water heating or <br />treating equipment in a building or premises without first <br />obtaining a permit to do such work from the administrative <br />authority. <br /> <br /> <br />
