(Prior code § 1901)

Before commencing any work pertaining to the erection, construction, reconstruction, moving, conversion or alteration of any building, or any addition to any building, a permit shall be secured from the city by any owner or his agent for the work, and it shall be unlawful to commence any work until and unless such permit shall have been obtained. Provided further, that no such building shall be occupied unless a certificate of occupancy, and license for such use where required, is first obtained from the department or person vested with the duty or authority to issue same. Each application for a building permit shall be made on a printed form to be furnished by the city and shall contain accurate information and dimensions as to the size and the location of the lot; the size and location of the buildings on the lot, the dimensions of all yards and open spaces, and such other information as may be necessary for the enforcement of these regulations. Where complete and accurate information is not readily available from existing records, the city may require the applicant to furnish a survey of the lot prepared by a licensed surveyor.

Any such permit, license or certificate, if issued in conflict with the provisions hereof, shall be null and void.
