in effect14A-4-413.1 Scope of permit.
A permit only authorizes the scope of work described in the permit application, including any associated construction documents. The issuance or granting of a permit does not authorize or allow work that would violate any provision of the Chicago Construction Codes or of the Municipal Code. A permit which attempts to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of the Chicago Construction Codes or of the Municipal Code is void from the outset to the extent it attempts to do so.
