§ 7-27. Construction plans to be submitted and approved.

It shall be unlawful for any person, as owner, agent or architect, to commence or continue the construction, erection or alteration of any building or structure or any part of a building or structure, within one-half mile of or within the limits of the City, without first having submitted to the City building department, a detailed set of the plans or description of the alteration, as determined by the building inspector, of such proposed work, together with the full name and residence, street and number of the owner and location of such building, and having such plans or description approved by said inspector, the permit fees paid and the permit issued. Such detailed statement, plans or description shall be kept on file in the office of the City building department until the proposed work is completed. Nothing in this section shall be construed to allow the building inspector to grant approval for the erection of any part of the building, when plans and detailed statements have been presented for the same, before the entire plans and detailed statements have been submitted, and no contracts for the erection of any building or part of a building shall be let until the plans have been approved by the City inspector in writing upon the face of such plans. It shall be unlawful for any person to alter, enlarge, raise or build upon any building without a permit from the City inspector, which permit shall be issued only after any examination of the premises shall have been made by such official.
