Before the construction, alteration or removal
of any building, wall or structure or any part thereof and before
the construction or alteration of the plumbing or drainage of any
building, structure or premises is commenced, the owner or lessee,
or agent of either, or the architect or builder employed by such owner
or lessee in connection with the proposed construction or alteration
shall submit to the Building Inspector a detailed statement in triplicate
of the specifications, on appropriate blanks to be furnished to applicants
by said officer, and such plans and structural detailed drawings of
the proposed work as said officer may require. Such statement, constituting
an application for a permit to perform such work, shall be accompanied
by a further statement in writing, sworn to before a person authorized
to administer oaths, giving the full name and residence of each owner
of said building or proposed building, structure or proposed structure
and, by a diagram of the lot or plot upon which such work is to be
performed, showing the established grade of the street, if any, and
the exact location of any proposed new construction and all existing
buildings or structures that are to remain. A building permit shall
be required for the construction of handicapped ramps within the Incorporated
Village of Massapequa Park, but no fee shall be required by the applicant
to the village for said building permit.
If construction, alteration or removal of a
building or structure or part thereof, plumbing or drainage installation
or alteration is to be made or executed by any person other than the
owner of the land in fee, the person intending to perform such work
shall, either as owner, lessee or in his representative capacity,
accompany the application to perform such work with a statement in
writing, sworn to before a person authorized to administer oaths,
giving the full name and residence of each of the owners of the land,
building or structure or part thereof and reciting that he is duly
authorized to perform said work. Such statement may be made by the
agent or architect of the person required to make the same.
Every permit issued by the Building Inspector
under the provisions of this code shall have his signature affixed
thereto, but this shall not prevent the Board of Trustees of the village
from designating a person who may sign such permit.
[Amended 1-7-1991 by L.L. No. 1-1991]
Nothing in this code shall be constructed to
prevent the Building Inspector from approving and issuing a permit
for the construction of part of a building or structure, when preliminary
plans and detailed statements have been presented for the same, before
the entire plans and detailed statements of said building or structure
have been submitted or approved.
An applicant for a permit hereunder shall not
in any way hinder the village from backfilling foundations or removing
abandoned structures or part of structures.
The construction, alteration, demolition or
removal of any building or structure or part thereof and the construction
or alteration of any plumbing or drainage shall be in accordance with
the approved detailed statement of specifications and plans for which
the permit was issued or any approved amendment thereof. The Building
Inspector shall require a certified copy of the approved plans to
be kept on the premises at all times from the time of commencement
of the work to the completion thereof.
The location of any new building or structure or of any extension to an existing building or structure shown on the diagram filed, required by §
154-12, or on any approved amendment thereof shall be strictly adhered to. It shall be unlawful to reduce or diminish the area of any lot or plot, a diagram of which has been used as the basis for a permit, unless the building or structure for which the permit was issued complies in all respects with the requirements of this code for buildings or structures located on plots of such diminished area; provided, however, that this shall not apply to any case in which the lot area is reduced by reason of any street opening or widening or other public improvement.
The Building Inspector may revoke any permit
or approval issued under the provisions of this code in case of any
false statement or any misrepresentation as to a material fact in
the application upon which the permit or approval was based.
The Building Inspector shall not approve any
plans for alteration of an existing building nor for the erection
or construction of any new building in case the general character
or appearance of such building after the proposed alterations or construction
would have the effect of depreciating real estate values within a
radius of 500 feet from the site of any such building, as determined
by the Board of Trustees, or shall be deemed by the Board of Trustees
to be detrimental and injurious to the health, safety, morals or general
welfare of the people of the village and more particularly of the
people residing within the aforementioned radius.

[Added 6-12-1995 by L.L. No. 7-1995]
