A standard sidewalk construction permit is generally valid for around 30 days, which can be tight for larger jobs delayed by weather, material availability, or scheduling. Extensions are typically requested before the original permit expires; a lapsed permit usually requires a fresh application rather than a simple renewal, which can add delay to a project that's already behind. Importantly, a permit extension has no bearing on the separate 75-day violation repair deadline, which keeps running regardless of the permit's own status.
