Madison Lake Ch. 100 § 150.20 means that any significant construction, alteration, or repair work performed on a rental dwelling should be backed by a permit issued by the Building Official — unpermitted work on a regulated structure may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants who suspect that work was performed without the required permit or that inspections under §§ 305 and 306 of the Building Code were bypassed may consider contacting the Building Official's office to inquire about permit records, which are typically public. Local tenant-rights organizations can help explain how an unpermitted-work violation might be raised in relevant proceedings.
