provision of this Code shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punishable by a fine of

hundred dollars ($500.00), or by imprisonment in the city jail

violation of this Code occurs or continues, shall be deemed to
constitute a separate offense and, upon conviction thereof,
shall be punishable as herein provided. The issuance or
granting of a permit or approval of plans and specifications
shall not be deemed or construed to be a permit for, or an
approval of, any violation of any of the provisions of this
Code. No permit presuming to give authority to violate or
cancel the provisions of this Code shall be valid, except
insofar as the work or use which it authorized is lawful.
'The issuance or granting of a permit or approval of
plans shall not prevent the Administrative Authority from
thereafter requiring the correction of errors in said plans
and specifications or from preventing construction operations
being carried on thereunder when in violation of this Code or
of any other ordinance or from revoking any certificate of
approval when issued in error.
'Every permit issued by the Administrative Authority
under the provisions of this Code shall expire by limitation
and become null and void, if the work authorized by such
permit is not commenced within one hundred twenty (120) days
from date of issuance of such permit, or if the work authorized
by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the
work is commenced for a period of one hundred twenty (120)
days. Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall
be first obtainted to do so, and the fee therefor shall be
one-half the amount required for a new permit for such work,
provided no changes have been made, or will be made in the
original plans and specifications for such work; and provided,
further, that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded
one (1) year."."
