§ 1405. Life of a permit.

Any construction, reconstruction, alteration or moving of a building or other structure shall be commenced within 180 days after the date of the issuance of the permit. The same shall apply to any change in use of a building or land authorized by a zoning compliance permit. If not, the permit shall be considered void. Extension of this time limitation may be granted by the Director of Public Works or authorized representative upon request of a written statement from the permittee as to the nature of any circumstances prohibiting the fulfillment of this obligation. Upon request of the Board or at the discretion of the Director of Public Works or authorized representative, a request for an extension may be reviewed by the Council.
