This chapter shall be known as the "Penn Township Building Permit
Ordinance."
[Amended 6-15-1998 by Ord. No. 535]
The definitions as set forth in Chapter
142, the Penn Township Ordinance of Definition, are hereby incorporated into this chapter.
Within 90 days from or after the date of completion of the work
authorized by the permit, the applicant shall file with the Code Official
on a form provided for that purpose a report certifying the completion
of the work and setting forth the actual cost thereof, and shall pay
to the Code Official any additional fee provided for herein.
It shall be the duty of the Code Official to forthwith revoke
any building permit issued hereunder if it shall be determined that
the same shall have been improperly or wrongfully issued by reason
of any false statement in the application, or by reason of any mistake
of fact or law, or that the work therein authorized would constitute
the violation of any statute or ordinance. Such revocation shall become
effective upon the mailing by the Code Official to the applicant at
his address shown in the application thereof. Upon such revocation,
all work authorized by said permit shall immediately cease and shall
not be resumed unless and until a permit therefor has been properly
issued.
Upon the violation of any of the terms of this chapter or of
any rule or regulation made hereunder, the Penn Township Board of
Commissioners may, in addition to any other remedies, institute in
the name of Penn Township any appropriate action or proceeding at
law or in equity to prevent, restrain, correct or abate any such violation.
The provisions of this chapter shall not be taken or construed
to conflict with or otherwise limit the provisions of any other statute
or ordinance imposing any other or greater requirements or restrictions,
and in the event of any such duplication, the provisions imposing
the greater requirement or restriction shall prevail.
