Why does my demolition project have a seven day waiting period between the day that the demolition permit is issued and the date that demolition work can begin?

The waiting period is to encourage property owners and contractors to salvage materials from the job site. Salvaging is the controlled removal of reusable materials from C&D debris, for the purpose of donation or reuse.
