engineer, licensed with the State of Hawaii, shall be according to State statutes and when required by the administrative authority as indicated under subsection (a). (c) Issuance. If the administrative authority determines that the plans, specifications, drawings, descriptions, or information furnished by the applicant are in compliance with this code, the administrative authority shall issue the permit applied for upon payment of the required fee. The plumbing permit card shall be posted in a conspicuous place at the job site during construction. (d) Validity. The issuance or granting of a permit or approval of plans and specifications shall not be construed to be a permit for or an approval of, violations of the provisions of this code, or other State or County laws, including rules and regulations. No permit presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of this code, or other State or County laws, including rules and regulations, shall be valid, except insofar as the work or use, which it authorizes is lawful. The issuance of a permit based upon plans and specifications shall not prevent the administrative authority from thereafter requiring the correction of errors in the plans and specifications or from preventing any plumbing work being carved on under that permit when in violation of this code, or other State or County laws, including rules and regulations, or from revoking any certificate of approval when issued in error. (e) Expiration. Every permit issued by the administrative authority under the provisions of this code shall expire by limitation and become null and void, if the work authorized by such permit is not commenced within one hundred twenty days from the date of issuance, or if the work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of one hundred twenty days; provided, however, that a permit issued for work on construction having a valid building permit, shall expire only when such building permit expires. Where a permit expires, before work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be obtained, and the fee shall be one-half the amount required for a new permit, provided no changes have been made or will be made to the original plans and specifications of such work; and provided, further, that the suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year. (f) Suspension or Revocation. The administrative authority may, in writing, suspend or revoke a permit issued under provisions of this code whenever the pemut is issued in error, or on the basis of incorrect information supplied, or in violation of any ordinance or regulation or any of the provisions of this code. (g) Refunds. Refunds of permit fees shall be made in accordance with the provisions of section 2-12. 5
