The chief building official is authorized to grant one 180 day renewal permit, for a non-expired permit, subject to written request by the permit holder. If approved, a renewal permit is subject to an additional permit fee based upon fifteen percent (15%) of the original permit valuation.

Section 108.2.1 is created to read as follows:

 Reinspections. A reinspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or reinspection when such portion of the work for which inspection is called for is not complete or when corrections called for are not made.

 This section is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or reinspection.

 Reinspection fees may be assessed when the inspection record card is not posted or otherwise available on the work site, the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector, for failure to provide access on the date for which inspection is requested, or for deviating from plans requiring the approval of the chief building official.

 To obtain a reinspection, the applicant shall file an application therefore in writing on a form furnished for that purpose and pay the reinspection fee in accordance with Section 15.08.030.

 In instances where reinspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have been paid.
