Sec. 54-903. - Building permit a prerequisite to work.
A building permit issued by the administrative officer is required in advance of construction, erection, moving or alteration or demolition of any building or structure. In cases involving necessary action by the Board of Zoning Appeals or Board of Architectural Review as provided elsewhere herein, such action shall be complied with before issuance of a building permit by the administrative officer. No excavation for foundation nor the erection, construction or structural alteration of any structure or part of a structure, or occupancy of streets or alleys with building materials or temporary structures for construction purposes, shall be undertaken until a permit therefor shall have been issued by the administrative officer.
