1305.05 SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARDS. The following standards are supplemental to and shall be construed to constitute a part of the One and Two Family Dwelling Code adopted under Section 1305.01: (a) Posting Notice of Application Immediately upon application for a building permit signed by the owner or his authorized agent, which application shall be filed with the Building Commissioner on forms furnished by him, the Building Commissioner shall cause to have erected upon the property for which a permit is applied for a sign which shall have a notice thereon as follows: "A building permit applied for, plans and plat showing the elevation and grading to be as established on file in the office of the Building Commissioner, City Hall." Such sign shall remain on the premises for which a permit has been applied for, for a period often days after the date of the application for the permit. In all instances in which the proposed construction increases the area or cubic content of a building, or involves a building covered by a roof, or such application is for original construction of a roofed structure designed for use as a shelter for persons, animals, chattels or property of any kind, or a combination of such uses, or if such construction effects drainage unto or over an adjoining property in any way, the ten day waiting period referred to shall be mandatory. It shall be mandatory that upon making an application for a permit required under the Dwelling Code, other than for electrical work, plumbing work, heating appliances and the installation of any other equipment in a structure governed by such Code, that the plans and specifications shall be filed with the Building Commissioner and remain available for inspection by any person at the office of the Building Commissioner during the ten day waiting period together with a plat of such property for which application for a building permit is requested. Such plat shall show the proposed elevation and grade to be established. Upon the filing of an application for a permit and during the ten day waiting period referred to, the Building Commissioner or his authorized inspector shall make an inspection of the property to be improved and determine the elevation and grade requested to be established on the premises involved will not be injurious to adjoining property.
