    1. Prints from corrected construction documents are not filed for backcheck within 90 calendar days after the date of return of checked construction documents to the architect or engineer in responsible charge. Backcheck submittals that do not contain a written response to all comments in accordance with Section 7-125 (c) shall not be considered an official submittal to the Office.

The Office may require that the construction documents be revised to meet current regulations before granting an extension. The extensions must be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated.
  4. If the work of construction is suspended or abandoned for any reason for a period of one year following its commencement, the Office's approval shall become void.
