therewith. SECTION F-103.0 VALIDITY F-103.1 Partial invalidity: In the event any part or
provision of this code is held to be illegal or void, this shall not have the effect of
making void or illegal any of the other parts or provisions thereof, which are determined

conform to the requirements of all pertinent laws, the code official shall reject such
application in writing, stating the reasons therefor. If the code official is satisfied
that the proposed work or operation conforms to the requirements of this code and all laws
and ordinances applicable thereto, the code official shall issue a permit therefor as soon
as practicable. F-107.4 Partial permits: Where permits are required and
upon the request of a permit applicant, the code official shall issue a partial permit to
occupy the premises or portion thereof before the entire work or operation on the premises
is completed, provided that such portion or portions will be occupied safely prior to full
completion or installation of equipment and operations without endangering life or public
welfare. The code official shall notify the permit applicant in writing of any limitations
or restrictions necessary to keep the permit area safe. The holder of a partial permit
shall proceed only to the point for which approval has been given, at the permit
holder’s own risk and without assurance that approval for the occupancy or the
utilization of the entire premises, equipment, or operation will be granted. F-107.5 Conditions of permit: A permit shall constitute
permission to maintain, store or handle materials, or to conduct processes which produce
conditions hazardous to life or property; or to install equipment utilized in connection
with such activities in accordance with the provisions of this code. Such permission shall
not be construed as authority to violate, cancel or set aside any of the provisions of
this code. Said permit shall remain in effect until revoked, or for such period of time as
specified on the permit. Permits are not transferable and any change in occupancy,
operation or tenancy shall require a new permit. F-107.6 Approved construction documents: Construction
documents approved by the code official are approved with the intent that such
construction documents comply in all respects with this code. Any omissions or errors on
the construction documents do not relieve the applicant of having to comply with all
applicable requirements of this code. F-107.7 Revocation of permit: The code official shall
revoke a permit or approval issued under the provisions of this code if, upon inspection,
any violation of the code exists, or if conditions of a permit have been violated, or if
there has been any false statements or misrepresentations as to material fact in the
application, data or construction documents on which the permit or approval was based. F-107.7.1 Suspension of permit: Any permit issued shall
become invalid if the authorized work or activity has not commenced within six months
after issuance of the permit, or if the authorized work or activity has been suspended or
abandoned for a period of six months after the time of commencement. F-107.8 Payment of fees: A permit shall not be issued
until the designated fees listed in Table F-107.2.3 have been paid. The payment of these
fees shall not relieve the applicant or holder of any permit from the payment of other
fees or from obtaining other required permits which may be prescribed by ordinance such as
building permits, Board of Public Service permits, plumbing permits, fees for water and
sewer connections, electrical permits, or fees for other inspections and privileges. F-107.8.1 Surcharge: In case any activity, for which a
permit is required by this code, is carried out or commenced prior to obtaining said
permit, the total fees applicable shall be increased by an amount equal to the original
total fees applicable and the payment of said fee shall not relieve any persons from fully
complying with the requirements of this code nor from other penalties prescribed by law.
Where such originally specified permit fees exceed five hundred dollars, that part of the
original fee in excess of five hundred dollars shall not be doubled. F-107.9 Fees non-refundable: The fee for a permit based
upon an estimated cost that is higher than later claimed by the applicant shall not be a
basis for refund. When construction does not occur, or only partially occurs, fees
collected are not refundable. SECTION F-108.0 INSPECTION F-108.1 Inspection: The code official shall inspect all
structures and premises, except single-family dwellings and dwelling units in two-family
and multiple family dwellings of four units or less, for the purposes of ascertaining and
causing to be corrected any conditions liable to cause fire, contribute to the spread of
fire, interfere with firefighting operations, endanger life or any violations of the
provisions or intent of this code or any other ordinance affecting fire safety. F-108.2 Coordination of inspections: Whenever, in the
enforcement of this code or another code or ordinance, the responsibility of more than one
code official of the jurisdiction is involved, it shall be the duty of the code officials
involved to coordinate their inspections and administrative orders as fully as practicable
so that the owners and occupants of the structure shall not be subjected to visits by
numerous inspectors or multiple or conflicting orders. Whenever an inspector from any
agency or department observes an apparent or actual violation of some provision of some
law, ordinance or code not within the inspector’s authority to enforce, the inspector
shall report the findings to the code official having jurisdiction. F-108.3 Right of entry: The code official is authorized
to enter the structure or premises at any reasonable time to inspect subject to
constitutional restrictions of unreasonable searches and seizures. If entry is refused or
not obtained, the code official is authorized to pursue recourse as provided by law. F-108.3.1 Penalty: No person shall fail or refuse, after
proper demand has been made upon that person as provided in this section, to promptly
permit the code official or authorized representative to make any inspection provided for
by this code. Any person violating this section shall, upon conviction thereof, be
penalized as set forth in Section 25.06.180. F-108.4 Jurisdictional cooperation: The assistance and
cooperation of police, building and health department officials and all other officials
shall be available as required in the performance of duties. SECTION F-109.0 FIRE INVESTIGATIONS F-109.1 Investigation of fires: The code official shall
investigate, or cause to be investigated, every fire or explosion occurring within the
City of Saint Louis that is of a suspicious nature or which involves the loss of life or
serious injury or causes destruction or damage to property. Such investigation shall be
initiated immediately upon the occurrence of such fire or explosion; and if it appears
that such an occurrence is of a suspicious nature, the code official shall immediately
take charge of the physical evidence; and, in order to preserve any physical evidence
relating to the cause or origin of such fire or explosion, the code official shall take
means to prevent access by any person to the structure or premises until such evidence has
been properly processed. The code official shall notify those persons designated by law to
pursue investigations into such matters and shall further cooperate with the authorities
in the collection of evidence and prosecution of the case and shall pursue the
investigation to its conclusion. F-109.2 Fire records: The code official shall keep a
record of all fires and all facts concerning the same, including investigation findings,
statistics and information as to the cause, origin and the extent of such fires and the
damage caused thereby. SECTION F-110.0 UNSAFE CONDITIONS F-110.1 General: Whenever the code official shall find
in any structure or upon any premises dangerous or hazardous conditions or materials as

of fire protection and safety systems and devices in existing structures. F-110.2.1 Occupant responsibility: If an occupant of a
structure creates conditions in violation of this code, by virtue of storage, handling and
use of substances, materials, devices and appliances, the occupant shall be held
responsible for the abatement of said hazardous conditions. F-110.3 Unsafe conditions: All structures or existing
