procured and inspection made as hereinbefore provided. No permit shall be

such application on forms provided for that purpose. He shall give a description
of the character of the work proposed to be done, and the location, ownership,

set forth by resolution of the City Council.
"Any person who shall commence any work for which a permit is required
by Chapter 4 of Title IV of the Pueblo Municipal Code without first having
obtained a permit therefore shall, if subsequently permitted to obtain a permit, pay
double the permit fee fixed for such work, provided, however, that this provision
shall not apply to emergency work when it shall be proved to the satisfaction of
the Chief Building Inspector that such work was urgently necessary and that is
was not practical to obtain a permit therefore before the commencement of the
work. In all such cases, a permit must be obtained as soon as it is practical to do
so, and if there be an unreasonable delay in obtaining such permit, a double fee as
herein provided shall be charged. The payment of a double fee shall not relieve
any person from complying with the requirements of Chapter 4 of Title IV of the

prescribed herein.

"All plumbing and drainage systems shall be inspected by the

to notify the Administrative Authority orally or in writing,,,that said work is ready
for inspection. Such notification shall be given not less than twenty -four (24)
hours before the work is to be inspected.
"It shall be the duty of the person doing the work authorized by the permit
to make sure that the work will stand the test prescribed elsewhere in Chapter 4 of
Title IV of the Pueblo Municipal Code, before giving the above notification.
"A reinspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or reinspection
when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or when
corrections called for are not made.
"This Subsection is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the
first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this
Code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is
ready for such inspection or reinspection.
"Reinspection fees may be assessed when the permit card is not properly
posted on the work site, the approved plans are not readily available to the
inspector, for failure to provide access on the date for which inspection is
requested or for deviating from plans requiring the approval of the Administrative
Authority.
"To obtain a reinspection the applicant shall file an application therefore in
writing upon a form furnished for that purpose, and pay the required reinspection
fee established by Council resolution.

forthwith stop such work until authorized by the Administrative Authority to
proceed with the work.

provisions of this Code.

construed to release or discharge any person from any liability imposed by law for
any injury to persons or damage to property caused by or resulting from the
performance or failure to perform work or furnishing materials covered by this
Chapter. Neither the City, the Pueblo Regional Building Department nor any
agent or employee thereof shall be held liable for any injury to persons or damage
