§ 112. Failure to obtain approval prior to concealment or occupancy-penalty.

Work shall not be done beyond the point indicated in each successive inspection without first obtaining the approval of the code official. Work that is covered or concealed, placed in operation, or a structure that is occupied without approval of the code official shall be in violation of the code and shall be penalized by the imposition of a civil fine in the amount of Fifty-Five Dollars ($55.00) for each occurrence and may result in a hearing before the applicable Appeals Board. Each day that a violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense. The assessment or payment of this penalty shall not relieve any person from fully complying with all requirements imposed by law, nor shall such payment exempt the person from further penalty provided by law.
