Lynwood — Ch. 18 Art. II Minimum Standards Codes § 18-49
Modifications of plans
Operative Text
Whenever plans accompanying a particular building permit are modified or revised, the modified or revised plans shall be submitted to the building commissioner for his approval not less than two weeks before construction may begin.
Under Lynwood Ch. 18 Art. II § 18-49, any time the plans tied to a building permit are changed or updated, the revised versions must be submitted to the building commissioner for review and approval. Construction cannot begin until at least two weeks after those modified plans have been submitted. This rule ensures that the building commissioner has adequate time to evaluate any changes before work on the ground starts.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under a Lynwood building permit should be aware that § 18-49 requires submitting any modified or revised plans to the building commissioner before proceeding with construction. Compliant operators typically build the mandatory two-week waiting period into their project timelines whenever plan changes arise, avoiding the risk of beginning work without proper approval. Keeping thorough records of plan submissions and approval dates is a common practice for demonstrating compliance with this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 18-49 of Lynwood Ch. 18 Art. II establishes that construction tied to a modified building permit plan cannot lawfully begin until the revised plans have been approved by the building commissioner and a two-week period has elapsed. Tenants who observe construction starting without apparent compliance with this timeline may consider contacting the Lynwood building department to inquire about permit status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how building code compliance intersects with habitability and other housing protections.
