The laws and building regulations of the State of Connecticut and the City of Norwalk shall at all times have precedence over drawings and specifications. Anything contrary to said laws and regulations that may at any time appear in drawings and specifications, or in the work as executed, shall be corrected without delay upon the receipt of due notice from the Building Inspector. The granting of a permit for the proposed work shall not be assumed or construed any right or permission to do anything contrary to the laws and regulations of the aforesaid, under any circumstances.
