"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.

"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.
