Sec. 86-70. Permit expiration. (a) Notwithstanding continuing or ongoing work, any building permit issued by the city shall expire and by limitation be null and void and shall require issuance of a new permit and payment of half the original permit fee if a certificate of occupancy and final completion has not been issued within the following length of time after the date of permit issuance,which new permit and fee shall be necessary to reimburse the city for ongoing and more than normal number and cost of inspection services: (1) Single-family residential dwellings, including new construction,remodeling or additions, 24 months. (2) Accessory buildings on single-family residential properties, 12 months. (3) All multifamily and nonresidential construction, 24 months, except when a longer time is authorized by the council at the time the original permit is issued. (b) Notwithstanding continuing or ongoing work nor issuance of new or extended permits, all exterior work shall be expeditiously brought to completion to protect adjoining and neazby properties as follows: (1) No land shall remain disturbed and exposed without established grass or other ground cover for a period exceeding 12 months, or any lesser period as may be specified in the permit. (2) All exterior construction, including siding, roofing, doors, windows and finish, shall be completed and present a finished appearance within 12 months of the start of construction. (c) Failure to complete such exterior construction shall result in the suspension of the existing permit until payment of 100 percent of the original building permit has been made. Should this not satisfy the time and materials expenditure of staff,the city shall directly bill the amount exceeding the permit with payment required prior to issuance of a final occupancy permit. Any payment under this section does not negate the permit limits of subsection(a) of this section and may not be applied to satisfy payment for a new permit under this section. This does not release the permittee from making appropriate life safety corrections nor negate other building code requirements. (Code 1984, § 12.05)
