days from the date of such permit, or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or
abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of 180 days. Before such work can be
recommenced, a new permit shall be first obtained to do so, and the fee therefore 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

commence under that permit when the permittee is unable to commence work within the time required by
this section for good and satisfactory reasons. The building official may extend the time for action by the
permittee for a period not exceeding 180 days on written request by the permittee showing that
circumstances beyond the control of the permittee have prevented action from being taken. No permit
shall be extended more than once.
Suspension or Revocation. The building official may, in writing, suspend or revoke a permit issued under
the provisions of this code whenever the permit is issued in error or on the basis of incorrect information
