Village Code]
It shall be unlawful to use or permit the use
of any building or premises or part thereof hereafter created, erected,
changed, converted or enlarged, wholly or partly, in its use or structure,
until a certificate of occupancy shall have been issued by the Building
Inspector. Such certificate shall show that such building or premises
or part thereof and the proposed use thereof are in conformity with
the provisions of all applicable laws and ordinances.

It shall be the duty of the Building Inspector to
issue a certificate of occupancy within 10 days after an application
therefor shall have been filed in his office by the owner, after having
determined that the building and the proposed use thereof conform
to all of the requirements herein set forth. In the event that such
building does not so conform, it shall be the duty of the Building
Inspector, within the same ten-day period after the filing of such
application, to refuse to issue such certificate and to notify the
owner in writing of the reason therefor.
B.

determine, provided that the entire building or premises shall be
made to conform to all of the provisions of all applicable laws and
ordinances within the period of such temporary certificate.
C.
Upon written request from the owner, the Building
Inspector shall issue a certificate of occupancy for any building
or premises existing at the time of the passage of this Code, certifying,

or premises, including the number of employees, and whether such use
conforms to the provisions of this Code.
