The Code Enforcement Officer may revoke a building
permit theretofore issued in any of the following instances:
A. Where the Code Enforcement Officer finds that there
has been any false statement or misrepresentation as to a material
fact in the application, plans or specifications on which the building
permit was based.
B. Where the Code Enforcement Officer finds that the
building permit was issued in error and should not have been issued
in accordance with the applicable law.
C. Where the Code Enforcement Officer finds that the
work performed under the permit is not being prosecuted in accordance
with the provisions of the application, plans or specifications.
D. Where the person to whom a building permit has been
issued fails or refuses to comply with a stop order issued by the
Code Enforcement Officer.
The Code Enforcement Officer, upon the showing
of proper credentials and in the discharge of the Code Enforcement
Officer's duties, shall be permitted to enter upon any building, structure
or premises without interference during reasonable working hours.
Before issuing a certificate of occupancy, the
Code Enforcement Officer shall examine or cause to be examined all
buildings, structures and sites for which an application has been
filed for a building permit to construct, enlarge, alter, repair or
change the use or nature of occupancy, and the Code Enforcement Officer
may conduct such inspections as the Code Enforcement Officer deems
appropriate from time to time during and upon completion of the work
for which a building permit has been issued. There shall be maintained
in the Building Department a record of all such examinations and inspections,
together with a record of findings of violations of the law.
Upon request, the Code Enforcement Officer may
issue a temporary certificate of occupancy for a building or structure
or part thereof before the entire work covered by the building permit
shall have been completed, provided that such portion or portions
as have been completed may be occupied safely without endangering
life or the public health or welfare. A temporary certificate of occupancy
shall remain effective for a period not exceeding three months from
its date of issuance. For good cause the Code Enforcement Officer
may allow a maximum of two extensions for periods not exceeding three
months each.
