A.
When work undertaken pursuant to a valid building
permit is completed, the property owner shall make application to
the Village for a certificate of occupancy or completion on the form
provided by the Village. Said form shall:
(1)
Contain a certification by the contractor, architect
or engineer that the work has been completed in accordance with the
terms of the building permit and that such work in all respects complies
with the provisions of this chapter. If there are any exceptions to
such compliance, such exceptions shall be specifically enumerated.
(2)
Be accompanied by an updated survey showing the work
completed under the permit (unless specifically waived by the Building
Inspector), a fire underwriters' certificate and any additional fee
that may be required.
B.
When the Building Inspector is satisfied that the
work, as completed, complies with the provisions of the building permit,
this chapter and other applicable ordinances, he shall issue a certificate
of occupancy or completion to such effect. If there are exceptions,
the Building Inspector shall defer issuance of a certificate of occupancy
or completion until the exceptions have been satisfied or may issue
a conditional certificate containing such conditions as he may determine,
which shall be subject to revocation if the exceptions are not satisfied
within a period of time fixed by him.
C.
The Building Inspector shall have the right, for reasons
of public health or safety, at any reasonable hour, upon the showing
of proper credentials and in the discharge of his duties, to enter
upon any building, structure or premises for which a building permit
has been issued, and no person or animal shall interfere with or prevent
such entry. The application for a building permit shall be conclusively
deemed consent to the aforementioned entry.
D.
It shall be unlawful to use or permit the use of any
building or part thereof unless a certificate of occupancy has been
duly issued for said building.
E.
Failure to obtain said certificate shall result in
the automatic extension of the building permit, as provided for under
this chapter, with the imposition of the associated fees until such
time as said certificate is issued. For any period of time after the
termination of the last such extension of the original building permit
allowed under this chapter (18 months from the original issue date),
there shall be imposed a fee of $50 per month or fraction thereof
until a valid certificate of occupancy is issued. This monthly fee
shall be in addition to any other fees or charges that may be imposed
under this code.
