Any person, firm, or corporation violating any provisions of the IPC shall be deemed guilty of a Class B municipal offense as provided in PMC 11.01.030. Each separate day or any portion thereof, during which any violation of the IPC occurs or continues, shall be deemed to constitute a separate offense and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punishable as herein provided. Any municipal offense under the IPC shall be deemed one of “strict liability.”

The issuance or granting of a permit or approval of plans and specifications shall not be deemed or construed to be a permit for, or any approval of, any violation of the provisions of the IPC. No permit presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of the IPC shall be valid, except insofar as the work or use, which it authorized, is lawful.

The issuance or granting of a permit or approval of a plan shall not prevent the administrative authority from thereafter requiring the correction of errors in said plans and specifications, or from preventing construction operations from being carried on thereunder when in violation of the IPC or any other ordinance, or from revoking any certificate of approval when issued in error. (Ord. 793 §2 (Exh. A), 2021)
