Building Permits

Building Permits 

I am seeking information about early laws that authorized or required the issuance of building permits for new construction.  When and where did these laws emerge, and what specific problems were they meant to ameliorate?  Where have you found early building permits?  From what years and jurisdictions?  Can you describe their contents?
