No person, firm or corporation shall commence, or cause or allow to be commenced, an excavation, construction, enlargement, alteration, improvement, demolition or structural repair of any building or structure, including those identified in §
175-23 and irrigation systems or stormwater or sanitary systems, or commence the alteration of a lot or move a building without first obtaining a valid permit as described in this chapter and meeting all requirements of the State Building Code as amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the provisions of §
175-23, no building permit shall be required for signs, flagpoles or light posts.
Applications for building permits shall be accompanied
by such drawings of the proposed work, drawn to scale, including floor
plans, sections, elevations and structural details, as the Building
Inspector may require. There shall also be filed a plot plan or diagram
in a form and size suitable for filing permanently with the permit
records, drawn to scale, with all dimensions figured, showing accurately
the size and exact location of all proposed new construction or, in
the case of demolition, of such construction as is to be demolished
and of all existing buildings and structures that are to remain.
Every permit issued under the provisions of
this chapter shall be signed by the Building Inspector before it becomes
effective.
A duly approved building permit shall be effective
and valid for a period of nine months from the date of issuance.
[Added 12-13-2005 by L.L. No. 1-2005]
A. A building permit renewal is required to resume work
after an initial permit has expired at the end of its nine-month term
or after either of the first two extensions. The renewal shall be
considered an extension to the original permit and valid for a period
of three months from the date of issuance. If no extension had been
issued to the original nine-month permit, then two more extensions
as described in this article shall be allowed in addition to the three-month
renewal; if one extension has expired, then only one more extension
will remain available; if two extensions have expired, then the renewal
shall constitute the third and final extension.
B. The Building Inspector shall issue a renewed building permit only after the renewal fee is paid. Said fee shall be calculated at three times the amounts as described in Chapter
87.
The permit holder or property owner shall notify
the Building Inspector, in writing, at least one week prior to the
commencement of the authorized work.
A copy of the permit shall be kept on the premises
open to public inspection during the prosecution of the work and until
the completion of the same. The Building Inspector may also require
a copy of the approved plans to be kept on the premises at all times
from the commencement of the work to the completion thereof.
No permit shall be assigned or transferred without approval of the Village and payment of the fees set forth in Chapter
87, Fees.
The property owner and the contractor working under a valid building permit shall immediately, upon completion of work undertaken in accordance with such permit, make a request for a final inspection of the work by the Building Inspector and make application to the Village for a certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion as required under Article
X of this chapter. Failure to obtain said certificate prior to the expiration of the building permit or extension thereto shall result in the automatic extension of the building permit with the imposition of the associated fees until such time as said certificate is issued.
