Building Codes Amended
Page 19 of 52
R105.5.1 Permit Expiration. The building official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more
extensions of time. The extension shall be requested in writing, prior to the expiration of the permit, and
justifiable cause demonstrated. If work is not completed after the expiration of the granted extension(s),
the applicant shall pay an additional permit fee of one-half ('/z) of the original permit fee and provide the

provisions of section 9-9-2A of this code."
R105.5.2 Method for Determining Permit Expiration Date. Any 90 day period of validity shall
commence when the permit is issued, each time the work is inspected by the building official, or an
extension is granted by the building official. If, at the end of any 90 day period, there has been no
subsequent request for inspection, or if an extension has not been granted, the permit shall become
permanently invalid and any and all permit fees and restoration/completion bond(s) with the Village of
Oak Brook for this project shall be forfeit. Forfeiture shall not constitute a waiver of the village's right to
collect from the applicant the amount of a deficiency in excess of the bond. The village shall retain the
right to use all legal and equitable remedies available to it for collection of such deficiency.
R105.6.1 Suspended Permits. Permits may be suspended for no more than 60 days. Within that 60 day
period, the cause or reason for suspension shall be corrected to meet the requirements of this code, or
the building official shall revoke the permit. If the cause or reason for the suspension is corrected, the
building official shall reinstate the permit with the expiration timeframe starting on the date of
reinstatement. There shall be an administrative fee of 50% of the total permit fee(s) for each
reinstatement granted.
Exception: The administrative fee shall be waived if the suspension was due to no fault of the
applicant, owner, or their agent(s).
R105.6.2 Revoked or Expired Permits. Any permit which has been revoked or expired shall become
permanently invalid, any and all fees and/or restoration/completion bond(s) with the Village of Oak Brook
for this project shall be forfeit. Forfeiture shall not constitute a waiver of the village's right to collect from
the applicant the amount of a deficiency in excess of the bond. The village shall retain the right to use all
legal and equitable remedies available to it for collection of such deficiency.
Exception: Permit fees and restoration/completion bond(s) for permits revoked due to no fault of
the applicant, owner, or fee remitter may be refunded. This provision shall not be construed to
allow refund of a bond while there are outstanding fees, charges or conditions needing to be
brought into compliance. This provision shall not be construed to allow for the refund of
application fees, plan review fees, inspection fees, engineering fees, or other expenses incurred
by the Village of Oak Brook."
R105.7 Placement of permit. The building permit or copy shall be kept on the site of the work until the
completion of the project. The building permit or copy shall be prominently displayed in a location that is
accessible to the public.
"R105.8 Completion of Work upon Which a Permit Has Been Revoked or Expired. A new permit shall
be required for completion and/or a certificate of occupancy. The outstanding work shall be reviewed
under the codes and ordinances adopted at the time of re-submittal. All fees and bonds shall be required
as for a new permit for the entire scope of the work.
R105.8.1 Premises upon Which a Permit Has Been Revoked or Expired. The premises shall be
maintained in a safe and secure condition at all times.
R105.8.2 New Permit Application. Once a permit has been revoked or expired, the responsible party
shall immediately commence a good faith effort to obtain the required permits, including the submittal of
construction plans, along with all fees and bonds within fifteen days (15 days) of expiration or revocation.
If the submittals are not received within that fifteen (15) day period, an additional permit fee of one
hundred dollars($100.00) per day shall be paid by the permittee for every day thereafter until the required
submittals are received. The requirement of permit(s)for completion and/or certificate of occupancy shall

not be utilized to preclude or be construed as a defense against other legal remedies available to satisfy
the intent of this code."

owner, owner's employee, or contractor serving as the owner's representative shall demonstrate basic
residential code knowledge by passing the test for: National Standard General Building Contractor (A),
National Standard Building Contractor (B), or National Standard Residential Contractor (C) — as
administered by the International Code Council-or approved and tested equivalent, for the issuance and
duration of the permit. Failure to retain at least one required qualified person, in a supervisory role, on a
project shall be cause for immediate suspension of the permit pursuant to Section R105.6.1 of this code.
Licensure as a design professional shall not be considered equivalent.
Exception: For detached single-family dwellings, the building official is authorized to waive the
qualification requirement for a project with a total or remaining job cost less than $100,000, or
qualifies for a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. This waiver may be revoked for cause where
the building official finds multiple and/or repeated violations of the Village of Oak Brook code in
the project.
R106.1 Submittal documents. Submittal documents consisting of construction documents and other
data shall be submitted in two or more sets with each application for a permit. The construction
documents shall be prepared by a registered design professional. Where special conditions exist, the
building official is authorized to require additional construction documents to be prepared by a registered
design professional.
Exceptions: The building official is authorized to waive the submission of construction
documents and other data not required to be prepared by a registered design professional if it is
found that the nature of the work applied for is such that reviewing of construction documents is
not necessary to obtain compliance with this code.
a. The building official is authorized to waive the requirement for construction document
preparation by a registered design professional where the cost of construction does not
exceed twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) and the submittals are adequate to accurately
depict the proposed work.
b. The building official is authorized to waive the requirement for construction document
preparation by a registered design professional where the scope of the work is limited to:
