the office of the Director of Public Works and shall specify the location

of work to be done and such other information and conditions as the
Director of Public Works shall deem necessary in order to assure that
such work is to be done in accordance with such standards of construction,
line and grade as the Director of Public Works may reasonably require
in order to achieve safety and uniformity. The Director of Public
Works may establish, from time to time, a reasonable fee for such
application.
All permits required by this Article III shall expire 90 days after issuance and shall be kept on the premises during the continuance of the work permitted.

If any person shall fail to obtain a permit as provided in this Article III, the Director of Public Works may, by registered letter, order the owner of the premises upon which such construction took place to change, alter or reconstruct such construction in a manner satisfactory to the Director of Public Works, provided that, if the owner of such premises fails to complete such change, alteration or reconstruction within 90 days after the mailing of such order, then the Director of Public Works may cause such work to be done and charge the expense thereof to the owner of the premises.
Any person who violates any provision of this Article III shall be fined not more than $99 (or the maximum amount permitted by state law) for each offense.
